新闻来源 - 官网 The Club was pleased to receive news from 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment – known as the Vikings – as they serve in the Helmand province of southern Afghanistan. We recently sent kit to the battalion following the tragic death of Corporal Darren Bonner, a Spurs fan. The Vikings are deployed as part of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in southern Afghanistan. Recently the Vikings led Operation LASTAY KULANG which has succeeded in squeezing out the Taliban in the north and south of the Upper Sangin Valley renowned to be a Taliban stronghold. Here is an extract from their release... A MORALE BOOST FOR SPURS FANS SERVING IN AFGHANISTAN Soldiers from the 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, known as the Vikings, and supporters of ‘Spurs’ have had a morale boost when they recently received THFC goodies whilst serving in the Helmand province of southern Afghanistan. At the request of the family of Corporal Darren ‘Daz’ Bonner, who died last month in Afghanistan, the club sent some shirts to his fellow Vikings and Spurs fans in Afghanistan. Warrant Officer Mark ‘Frankie’ Freeman, who knew Darren Bonner well and shared his passion for Tottenham, said: “It is a fantastic gesture that the club has made in the memory of a fellow Viking who loved and always talked about Spurs, and it is good to see some support back home for what the lads are doing out here.” Frankie himself has always been a Spurs fan as long as he can remember and he always tries to catch up with the latest THFC news even on operations. He said: “I started to support Tottenham when I was about 8 while most of my family supported Arsenal. In my 23-year Army career, I have always tried to catch up with every Spurs’ game thanks to the website, Sky Sports and Soccer AM even if I still believe we don’t see enough of Spurs.” 1 Royal Anglian will try to raise some money for a Memorial Fund they have created to support the families of soldiers killed and wounded in action, and Frankie added: “I wrote to THFC just days before ‘Daz’ was killed for any donation they would like to make for the end of tour raffle which we will organise for families of soldiers killed or injured in Afghanistan it has been fantastic that the club has contributed these shirts.” IF YOU wish to make a donation to the Memorial Fund please email at [email protected] or if you wish to write to Frankie [email protected] THE Club was represented by Sporting Director Damien Comolli at Corporal Bonner’s funeral and once again, the Club would like to pass its condolences to family and friends. ============================================================================== http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/5278-6.jpg http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/5278-11.jpg 俱乐部最近寄了新球衣给在阿富汗南部驻军的英军人 他们在一只叫Vikings的部队 其中有位名叫"Darren Bonner"的热刺迷军人不幸丧身 我们的Sporting Director - Damien Comolli代表热刺出席他的丧礼 然而俱乐部寄给他们一些球队的商品 给他们极大的鼓舞 Bonner的好友Frankie说 "俱乐部有这样的回应真的很让人兴奋 对於在部队总是谈论球队的人们是非常棒的回忆" "在外能从家乡收到这样的支持 感觉真的很好" Frankie从他有记忆开始就支持热刺 他总是找寻任何的方法关心热刺的最新新闻 "我从大约八岁的时候就开始支持热刺 家人大多数都是A迷" "23年的军队生涯 我不断的从网路找寻热刺的消息" "看完Sky Sports, Soccer AM之後我还是感觉看热刺的新闻看的不够" 1 Royal Anglin打算筹募基金给一些驻军丧身或受伤军人的家人 "在Daz遇害之前我就写信给热刺 希望球队对於这边丧身或受伤军人有些支持" "活动结束之後我们会组织这些人的家人起来" "能收到这样的支持是最棒的回应了" 绿字的部分是筹募基金的Viking的联络方式 也有Frankie的联络方式 -- 对当地的人来说俱乐部不单单只是一只足球队而已 在亚洲的我们实在没办法跟俱乐部有什麽互动 也希望Darren Bonner可以一路好走 -- Ｔo Dare is to do! --
