Lincoln City FC Sport & Education Trust would like to pay its own tribute to the life and work of Keith Alexander, who, along with his legendary ‘Play-Off' achievements with the Imps, also became a pioneer for black footballers and a leading figurehead for Kick It Out - football's equality and inclusion campaign - when he became the first ever black manager in the Football League.
Pupils from two local Lincoln schools - Bishop King Primary and St Faith & St Martin Primary - joined forces before the recent Torquay game to proudly carry the One Game One Community message around the Sincil Bank stadium as the crowds gathered before kick off.
Coaching staff from Lincoln City Football In The Community supported by Imps stars Anthony Pulis and Adam Watts helped launched a special week of activities (October 2009) aimed at stamping out bullying in a local primary school as part of the One Game One Community national weeks of action.
Football In The Community is providing a series of workshops and activity days aimed at young people included in the new Children's Services Positive Futures programme as part of the football club's week of action in the One Game One Community campaign.
