“A momentous day for the club.
“The official launch of our Peter Olsen Community Hub and the start of a new era!”
Great to see Wallsend Boys Club also getting national recognition for what they contribute to their community.
The excellent Henry Winter is Chief Football Writer at The Times and covering today’s Wallsend Boys Club event he used his social media to declare:
“Great to see Elliot Anderson of Newcastle United with Wallsend Boys Club’s chairman Steve Dale at the launch of the Peter Olsen Community Hub.
“Anderson one of 92 Wallsend players to make pro.
“Club not only a launchpad for future stars but vital for physical and mental health of 1,000s of local kids.
“To those asking, Elliot Anderson was having rehab on his injury at the club (hence why he withdrew from Scotland squad), then came here to the POCH to show his support for Wallsend Boys Club.
“Not forgotten his roots.
“Impressive person as well as player.”
