Red Nosed Phoenix

February 19th, 2009 by Martin Hodds

On Thursday February 19th, Yorkshire Phoenix joined Football League club Rotherham United in a Comic Relief fundraiser at Parkgate Retail World in Rotherham.

A really successful afternoon saw numerous fans of all ages visit the event to have their picture taken with the Rotherham players and get their autographs. There was also face painting and a life sized game of Operation.

The kids really enjoyed playing Subbuteo against each other and the players, with Phoenix players coaching them.  Some of the Rotherham players really got into playing !

ESTFA on the radio !

November 3rd, 2008 by Martin Hodds

ESTFA Chairman Martin Hodds – in conjunction with comedian and broadcaster Arthur Smith – was interviewed live by John Humphrys on Radio 4’s Today Programme on Monday 3rd November.

The feature was generated by Paul Willetts’ new book ‘Teenage Flicks’ which recounts various celebrities’ memories of subbuteo, together with recreating some classic football photos using subbuteo players !  It’s fair to say Messrs Humphrys & Smith didn’t take the game too seriously, but it was a lighthearted interview which hopefully will generate more interest in the game.

If you missed the broadcast, you can listen to it by clicking here.
