Cape Town Spurs youngster Liam Bern has helped launch a new campaign with the aim of developing young players.
The campaign is called 'Blikkies and boots' and will be looking to help with the development of players at Blikkiesdorp United Football Club.
The 19-year-old joins the campaign as an ambassador and he is now calling on the public to help the Blikkiesdorp club by donating various things, including balls, boots, football equipment and food.
"When I was 12 years old, seven years ago, we played against Blikkiesdorp FC. It has always been a dream of mine to become a professional soccer player, similar to many of the players in the opposing team," Bern told the club's official website.
"I was privileged to be in an environment that would make my dreams come true. However, I'm well aware that many players in the opposing team did not have the facilities and opportunities as I did.
"That is why today I'm honoured to have joined 'Blikkies and Boots' as the campaign's ambassador, along with my club, to help coach Errol and Blikkiesdorp FC make someone else's dream come true too.
"I'm asking for your help. Please drop off any soccer boots, balls, equipment at Ikamva, our clubhouse in Parow. Nutrition also plays a very big role in the development of players so any tinned food, cereals and energy bars will be highly appreciated."
It was also confirmed that the Spurs' U12 and U14 sides will face Blikkiesdorp United in friendlies on Tuesday, 26 July.
