Charley echoed Jack’s positive words and also spoke of how the meeting had inspired her to continue to push herself. “It was an unreal experience and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” she told us.
“It was amazing to meet Sir Alex and Bryan, but also really special to be rewarded with an incredible VIP experience like this.
“It shows you what you can achieve if you apply yourself and work really hard, no matter where you come from.”
