The heart-warming scene reflected the supporter's will to kindle a passion for the club in his son from the earliest age. |
Fran Hurndall | Dribbling a football for an average of 32 km a day for 32 days from the Gold Coast to Sydney, the challenge undertaken by Fran Hurndall aimed to inspire women and girls in sport to dare to dream and fulfil their potential at all levels, on and off the pitch, while her 1,000 km run raised money for the Women Sport Australia charity. |
Miguel Angel, Millonarios fan | Colombian youngster, who was a big Millonarios fan, fulfilled his final wish before being euthanised due to an unknown illness. On the eve of his passing, the fanatical fan got to meet the members of the first-team squad ahead of their league clash against Alianza Petrolera. |
