Hey all,
Forgive me dropping this in here but I think it's relevant enough to drop it here. (this is not about him scoring and please let me be serious for a change)
I sent an email to Wolves wishes about my little brother Robert. He is 20 years of age and suffers with Cerebral Palsy, he is a massive Wolves fan and his favourite player is Dave Edwards mainly because Robert thinks that he is well... in his words "one of our most loyal and best players".
I wrote this email talking about his life and how little chance he has been given in anything he's done. He's broken the proverbial glass ceiling so many times and now he is probably the person I wish I was because he has so much confidence and does really make people smile no matter who he meets.
Earlier this week I received a phone call from Wolves themselves inviting Robert, Myself and my other brother David to the game which we were massively grateful for. We went to the ticket collection and in this envelope was a hand written letter from Dave himself! We read this letter and I have to admit that it brought a tear to my eye that Dave could write something so personal for Robert. It was one of the best games that I have been to with Robert and when Dave Edwards scored the winner the amount of relief that was in my mind was nothing compared to the elation of Roberts. He did call Danny Batth a stupid tit but that's him.
Fast forward 24 hours to today and I've had another call from the club explaining about Dave's letter and how he was touched by Roberts story. I have been informed by the club that Dave after game asked about Robert and has requested that his match shirt is to be sent to Robert signed by himself.
I just want to say thank you in the public environment to the club for passing on my email to Dave and a massive thank you to Dave Edwards for making Roberts dream come true.
