Not satisfied with the number of events happening at the club at present, just  before cutting the birthday cake to celebrate the Tons 138th year of football, Clapton provided a young man with a football scholarship award of two lots of football kit, tracksuit, boots and football – all the equipment needed for a budding twelve year old footballer. Players, supporters and the club’s Chief Executive were present to offer support to this young person and all offered to steer him toward the correct pathway in life.
