"I am delighted to be able to support the Action Duchenne Golden Boot.  Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is devastating muscle wasting condition for which there is currently no cure.  The average life expectancy for those living with Duchenne is around 25 – close to the average age of a professional footballer.  Please register for the Action Duchenne Golden Boot and help to make muscle wasting history.”      

Terry Butcher, former England, Glasgow Rangers and Ipswich Town player

"I am delighted to support the Action Duchenne Golden Boot competition.  Having started my footballing career at Grassroots Level, I know just how important it is to be involved in well organised, competitive matches, preferably within a league structure.  That is exactly what this initiative will achieve as well as raising awareness for   such a worthwhile cause."  

Bob Wilson OBE, Former Arsenal and Scotland player

"The Action Duchenne Golden Boot represents a great opportunity to raise awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.  By involving the amateur game, thousands of players will be able to find out about this devastating condition and have a chance to help support local fundraising efforts in their community.  I wish the Golden Boot competition every success."  

Phil Thompson, Former England and Liverpool player

"I enjoyed playing professional football for many years but for boys with Duchenne, simply playing a game of football in their back garden can prove impossible.  The onset of Duchenne severely restricts the mobility of children with the condition but your support for the Action Duchenne Golden Boot will help to raise the profile of Duchenne.  Please register now and make a difference."   

Joe Kinnear, Newcastle United manager and former Wimbledon manager and Tottenham and Republic of Ireland Player
