Manchester United wonderkid Marcus Rashford has been handed a Special prestigious Award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year podium.
Rashford has stood out as truly newsworthy for the correct reasons this year, attempting to lobby with the expectation of complimentary school suppers for oppressed youngsters in the UK. While Rashford is ineligible to win the fundamental Sports Personality of the Year grant dependent on his work, a unique honor will be made for him.
Barbara Slater (BBC Director ) said: “Marcus’ endeavour to give a voice to those who find themselves in a situation that he too is familiar with has been greatly admired and the panel wanted to ensure he was recognised for that. In a year that has been challenging for everyone, but particularly vulnerable families, he has gone above and beyond to transcend his sport and make a real difference. This award is a tribute to a remarkable young man.”
Great players always deserve great honours. For the work Rashford did, even an award speaks little for it. For thinking about all those unprivileged kids in such a disastrous time of the year and helping them receive their worthy share, a class act from the United star.
Rashford was recently honoured during United’s match against Everton, applauding his work by mentioning him on the display boards of the Goodison Park.
Britain’s Marcus Rashford has gotten an MBE after he was named in the Queen’s Birthday Honors List for 2020. He gets the honour for giving free meals to weaker kids in the UK during COVID-19.
Off the field, Rashford made Boris Johnson play out a U-turn after the executive at first dismissed the 23-year-old’s calls with the expectation of complimentary food vouchers to be allowed to the least fortunate families in the late spring. Toward the finish of a month, ago Rashford’s appeal to end kid neediness had in excess of 1,000,000 marks and his activity was an impetus for neighbourhood organizations, bistros, and eateries to help feed families without free school suppers during fall half-term.
BBC is to show a narrative on 21 December outlining Rashford’s activism, the day after the grants function. A well-deserved award for Rashford.
