CHRIS WADDLE SCORES FOR BIRLEY !Get the flags out! Especially St. Georges! Former World Cup player of ’86 and ’90 – personable and hugely popular England and Sheffield Wednesday football star Chris Waddle, scored an own goal recently to help celebrate Birley Primary School’s winning entry in a Crystal Peaks ‘World Cup Flag Colouring Competition’ - by presenting students with £1000 worth of i.t. and computer equipment!  “Diamond Geezer” Chris with Olivia (5) Harry (7) and Oliver (8) from Birley Community Primary School Prior to the school summer break The Right Worshipful the Lord Mayor of Sheffield Cllr. Jackie Drayton popped into the award-winning Sheffield Shopping Centre and became one of the prestigious judges to choose the outright victors from over 20 local schools exhibiting hundreds of 2006 FIFA World Cup flags, which were flying high in shop windows in the Centre’s West Mall. Pupils illustrated all 32 flags from the six continents across the globe of competing teams in the four yearly tournament. “Congratulations to Hayfield Crescent’s Birley Community Primary School who’ve netted some really great kit!” Said Chris, 46, “Form Y6S under tutor Janet Spink were particularly striking and a credit to the school but special mention goes to all the ‘years’ involved because their sterling team efforts and brilliant creativity were outstanding. It always feels good to be on the side of a winning line-up, so very well done Birley Primary!” Centre Manager, Chris Jones commented, “It’s nice to have a sporting legend like Chris to present them with their prize, he’s a true sportsman and a gentleman. It’s helped to make their day. It was also a true delight to see the interaction of numerous schools, their forms and children all working together on a highly educational project that encompassed not only colouring the teams’ national flags but also featured on the back, insights into those countries geography, currency, demographics and economy. I hope they increased the children’s knowledge and understanding of the wider world around us whilst creating some topical fun and kicking off some more exploration.”
