Trisha Patel, director at Specsavers in High Wycombe, said: “For decades, Specsavers has celebrated and made heroes of those who really ‘Should’ve gone to Specsavers’.

“This year, we're taking our commitment to celebrating human moments to the next level, by investing in an underfunded area of culture which relies heavily on excellent sight and hearing - grassroots football.  

“We want to give this community of heroes a taste of fame - celebrating them and their humanness in a way that only they can dream about.
