Bill Turner attended some Cup and Trophy games this week in his hometown of Newcastle.
He made an impression on one fellow spectator, who sent us this message:
Yesterday I went to watch my son Waide play in Bill Turner Cup game for Hunter Sports vs Lambton. Just prior to kick off a man approached and commented on my football jacket origin. We spent the next 80min discussing a wide range of subjects including football. I found this man to be the epitome of the perfect gentleman. I have been involved with football for over 40 years and have never had a more enjoyable time than yesterday watching a game and discussing it’s progress. The passion of this gentleman towards football was enviable. His name is Bill Turner. A competition named after this gentleman is totally appropriate. Please pass on my regards to this impressive man. Regards Rod Malligan.
