Manchester United FC u17 Centre of
Excellence player Emily Ramsey signs as youngest ever Patron of JUST A BALL
GAME?
For
a number of years now Just A Ball Game? (JBG?) have been proud to build on an
LGBT/ straight alliance and we are very excited to announce our youngest ever
Patron and straight ally in Emily Ramsey.
At 15 years old Emily plays Goalkeeper for
Manchester United u17 Centre of Excellence team and is also a current England
u16 squad member after making her debut against Germany in November 2015 at St.
George’s Park. Playing the game is not the only talent the young Lioness has,
Emily also qualified in 2015 as a referee.
Emily
had this to say about joining JBG? campaign organisation, "I
am proud to have been asked to become a young patron of Just A Ball Game? Hopefully,
other young athletes will be able to relate to my journey, and see that role
models don't have to be famous - anyone can be one if they work hard and follow
their dream.
I'm looking
forward to working with JBG? to help promote equality in sport across all ages
and abilities."
A spokes
person for JBG? says,” It’s our hope that Emily will be seen by young people as
someone to look up to and aspire to in all she achieves, and that as an
organisation we will support her career wherever that may take her.”
