How charity began in a scrum for legend Gary, by Tina Miles, Liverpool Echo - 28th June 2008

Rugby league legend Garry Schofield joined a team of workers from Merseyside for annual tournament in aid of charity.

The ex-Great Britain star played alongside a seven-strong team of Knowsley-based Virgin Media staff to help them get their hands on the winner’s trophy.

He also donated rugby memorabilia for a charity raffle which followed the Virgin Media rugby sevens tournament.

Staff from 15 offices across the country travelled to Nottingham rugby club to help raise money for the Foyer Federation, which supports disadvantaged 16-25-year-olds.

Knowsley team captain Andy Leach said: “To compete with a real rugby legend like Garry was an honour.”
