Monsters - all you need to know

A very special boy
By Alan Rowley October 7 2003
The most talked about event of the year in local cricket managed to attract the attention of the internet, local newspapers, television and radio. Not a bad performance for a bunch of amateur cricketers who decided to get together to help a local lad's wish come true.

Here are all the links to the main articles on the Monsters:

  • Heavyweight XI
    Kev Fint's original message board posting that started it all off.
  • Help make Alfie's Wish come true
    An early interview with Alfie's mum Alison which gave us an insight into Alfie's problems and what his parents are planning to help him.
  • Monsters sponsor form
    Added here purely for completeness, this is the online sponsor form that was downloaded for players and helpers to complete.
  • Monsters poster
    James Franco's poster which was used to advertise the event.
  • Monsters press release
    Bruno Rost, PR manager at Experian, helped us promote the event with this press release.
  • Big lads set for a battle
    Derby Evening Telegraph article, written by Colston Crawford. The first article to appear in the local press.
  • Monsters Tour 2003
    The itinerary for the pre-Monsters tour undertaken by Danny Parkin, Alan Rowley, Keleigh Lacey and Sarah Pearson.

Well that's just about it for the Monsters 2003. All that remains to do now is count the cash and present Alfie's parents with the cheque. More on that later.

Rest assured, we will cover the presentation of the cheque and report on Alfie's adventure in the States.
