Congratulations to everyone at Aspire for the success of the Charity Auction evening which took place on Wednesday, 5th May at the Eight club in Bank and which we at New Era were pleased to support.

The event took the form of a Q & A session with Rio Ferdinand, Kenny Samson, Ray Parlour and Kerry Dixon and was entertainingly hosted by Matt Lorenzo. Thank you to everyone who so generously supported the auction and for contributing to such a fantastic evening.

The A.S.P.I.R.E (Academic and Sporting Prowess Inspired Routes to Excellence) programme was set up in July 2002 to enable boys between the ages of 12-18 to pursue their dream of becoming a professional footballer whilst also enjoying the benefits of furthering thier education whether that be in a vocational or academic capacity.
