“Almost €4,000 was collected. It’s not nothing. He no longer had a bed, no more dryer, no more sofa… It allows him to get back on track. He is very moved. Besides, without explaining to the children why, he told them that today (Editor’s note, Wednesday), he had a special emotion to be there.”
Beyond the Colomiers football club, the coaches hope that this investigation and the seriousness with which it was carried out will carry “a strong message to parents regarding the behavior to adopt at the side of the pitch”.
