Fabio Capello sends Callum congratulations
WHEN Callum Haynes from Birkenshaw signed up for Halifax School of Excellence under 10s football team, he was shocked when two letters of congratulations dropped through his letterbox – one from England manager Fabio Capello, the other from Spurs boss Harry Redknapp.
Callum, who is 10 and goes to Birkenshaw Middle School, said: "I couldn't understand it. I was so shocked and I wondered how they had found out."
However the mystery was soon solved.
Callum's grandma, Karin Sedgwick, owned up that she had written to them both and was delighted when they both replied.
The England manager Fabio Capello had sent a letter of congratulations and a signed photograph and Harry Redknapp, who manages Spurs, Callum's favourite team, also sent a signed photograph and a congratulations card.
Karin said: " I was so pleased for Callum and thought he deserved some praise so I wrote to them both. I think it was very good of them to take the time to write to him."
