England legends Stuart Pearce and Laura Bassett dusted off their boots for a once-in-a-lifetime training session with Camden Town Women to celebrate the club's flagship new sponsorship deal with Entain.
Former Three Lions skipper Pearce, a long-term ambassador of Entain’s Pitching In grassroots investment fund, and 63-cap Lioness Bassett were put through their paces at the Maurice Rebak Stadium, taking part in drills before offering helpful advice to members of Camden’s squad.
Pitching In is a multi-million-pound, multi-year investment programme designed to support grassroots football across the Trident Leagues – Northern Premier, Southern and Isthmian – and was launched during the Covid-19 pandemic when clubs were facing an unprecedented impact on their finances.
