South Devon’s worst football team will have a chance to receive face-to-face training from a world-class footballing legend.
Specsavers is keen to hear from clubs in Torbay, Teignbridge and the South Hams as part of its nationwide search to find a grassroots football team in desperate need of a little help.
The community opticians and audiologists is giving one local club the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn its fortunes around with some high-class professional insight.
Winnie Maina, director at Specsavers Paignton, says: ‘For decades, Specsavers has celebrated and made heroes of those who really “Should’ve gone to Specsavers”.
‘This year, we’re taking our commitment to celebrating human moments to the next level, by investing in an underfunded area of culture which relies heavily on excellent sight and hearing – grassroots football.
‘We want to give this community of heroes a taste of fame – celebrating them and their humanness in way that only they can dream about. So that’s why we want local clubs to come forward and apply for the chance to be Specsavers’ Best Worst Team and all the glory that comes with it.’
Once Specsavers’ Best Worst Team has been selected, the healthcare retailer will be following and documenting the club’s journey throughout the 2023/24 footballing season.
