The Skem Menaces have a lot in common with some of the most well known people in the country. People like Sir Bradley Wiggins, the Olympic medal winning, Tour De France champion and world speed cycling record holder who also won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year ward a few years ago.
The Skem Menaces Football team have enjoyed similar success since they came together on a muddy field in 2009 to play their first game. These disabled footballers have gone on a very similar journey to Sir Bradley....They won Olympic Silver Medals at the 2013 Special Olympics and Carl Eaton, the manager was a finalist at the 2015 BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
Just recently the club was awarded the MBE by the Queen.
As a club they have also raised tens of thousands of pounds for various charities in the local area.
They love giving back and thanking the residents of Skelmersdale for their continued support
So what's the problem?
Simple. These amazing and talented disabled footballers simply want the local council to give them some recognition for the effort they have given in putting Skelmersdale well and truly on the map for more than being just a town full of roundabouts.
Please help us by signing our petition to have the Aces and their many achievements displayed on one of the Roundabouts in our great town.
What better way for them to thank you for your support and to raise the profile of disability sport throughout the country?
Please help them today by signing the petition, it would mean a great deal to everyone here at The Aces
Your support is greatly appreciated
Thank you again
Carl Eaton. Club Manager
