Player Visit – Stewart Downing (February 2009)

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Students from Hall Garth school and members of their family have been at the Riverside this week take part the Communicating for Success project.

The participants worked closely with poet, author and Boro fan Andy Croft to create unique poetry based around football memories. Newly learned ICT skills were then put into practice to create a short film with evocative images and music with the spoken words of their poems.

Boro and England winger Stewart Downing was our special guest on the final day and was treated to several of these short films including poem all about himself.

After the presentation Stuart was the focus in a question and answer session where he revealed his thoughts on many subjects including progressing through the Boro ranks, playing for England and his career as a DJ.
