Joe Gardner, Charlie Kingshott, David Warren and Jack Sullivan with the football pennant donated by Barcelona
STUDENTS from South East Essex College were really on the ball when they applied to famous football team Barcelona for merchandise to help them raise money for charity.
The team donated a pennant signed with world-famous names such as Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry, Yaya Toure and Samuel Eto’o to help the students raise more than £100 for Martin and Su’s Essex Kids charity.
Southend United also helped by sending the business students a signed ball.
