Marcus Rashford's World Cup tribute to a friend who died 'cheered people up', another friend says.
A childhood friend of the man to whom Marcus Rashford dedicated his World Cup brace has said the England player's tribute was "really touching".and later revealed he was paying tribute to his late friend Garfield Hayward.
Tim Hamnett, 34, from Stretford in Greater Manchester, said the tribute had "cheered a lot of people up".Speaking after the 3-0 victory in Qatar, Rashford said he had "lost one of my friends a couple of days ago"."I'm pleased I scored for him. He was a big supporter and a good friend of mine.
"A lot of the closer friends knew that he would've dedicated a celebration, so we were just wondering what it was going to be, and what a way to do it," he said.Mr Hamnett's wife Kym, 33, said the forward "was always in touch over the phone, but if it was anything important, he always turned up"."He was great. Nobody ever had a bad word to say about him. Such a happy person.
"We knew that celebration was for Garf, so the kids were absolutely ecstatic, jumping about shouting 'yes, Rashford, you've done it for Garf'. "Today, going to school, they were bouncing off the walls. They couldn't wait to go and tell them what Marcus Rashford had done."
