Naismith gives back
to Annick
everton and scotland star steven naismith is sponsoring stewarton annick football club, the
side he started out with on his journey to playing in the best league in the world with everton.
The club has spent some of the money on
purchasing two sets of strips and they have
agreed to carry the Dyslexia Scotland logos
on the front of their jerseys. Steven is an
Ambassador for Dyslexia Scotland. He
struggled with dyslexia during his school years.
Steven Naismith commented: “This is an
opportunity to support two organisations I
feel very strongly about. I get to help the club
I started playing for as a young boy and their
jerseys will carry the logo of an organisation I
try to help as much as possible.”
Steven’s link to Dyslexia Scotland came about
through three Knights of The Realm – Sir
David Murray, Sir Sean Connery and Sir
Jackie Stewart! In a newspaper interview
Steven mentioned that he had struggled
with dyslexia during his school years. Sir
Sean read the article online in his Bahamas
home and called former Rangers owner Sir
David Murray to say that he found Steven an
interesting young man and asked for Steven’s
phone number.
The former James Bond star called Steven and
suggested he should speak with ex-Formula
One racing world champion, Sir Jackie
Stewart, who is heavily involved with Dyslexia
