Hall of FameOn Friday 02nd May, Shaka Hislop, Chris Hughton, Dean Gordon, Joe Shaw of the Newcastle Falcons and Gary Bennett attended a press conference in the Media Suite at St James to discuss this years Show Racism the Red Card Hall of Fame awards. The Hall of Fame this year is being hosted by the Prime Minister in Number 10 Downing Street on Monday 12th of May at 6pm. Show Racism the Red Card is now in it's 12th year and back in 2004 we decided to give Hall of Fame awards to our longest standing patrons and supporters. The press conference will give the north east media the chance to ask our longest serving patrons what our organisation is hoping to achieve. Ged Grebby of Show Racism the Red Card said: "Having Number 10 Downing Street for this years Hall of Fame is a great coup for our organisation. We are proud of our North East roots and the fact that the campaign is now well known throughout Europe but still has its head office here on North Tyneside. The Hall of Fame is our way of thanking the players who have given their time so generously to make our anti-racist campaign such a success. Geremi will be the lastest person to join our Hall of Fame before the Newcastle United v Chelsea on Monday 05th of May." Organisations and Football Clubs which have received the award include: PFA, UNISON, Charlton Athletic, Newcastle United, Everton, QPR Football in the Community. Individual recipients: Shaka Hislop, Sir
Bobby Robson, We will be adding more photos to the Hall of Fame as they become available. Click on a photo to enlarge it.
