KEEN Huddersfield Town fan Sally Peckett has won a competition to name five trucks after her football favourites.
Sally, 38, who lives at Longwood, took part in the contest, run by Netherton-based haulage firm The Pink Link. The company, one of Town’s major sponsors, ran its competition to allow supporters to name five of the company’s 10 new trucks.
An email invited Town fans to submit the names of their top five players of all time. More than 10,000 emails were sent out and thousands of Huddersfield Town supporters entered the competition.
Now five of the firm’s striking new trucks will bear the names of Sally’s all-time Leeds Road legends, Trevor Cherry, Andy Booth, Steve Kindon, Frank Worthington and Denis Law. The vehicles will be out and about on local roads shortly.
Sally was presented with a signed Town shirt by Sean Jarvis, director of business development at the club, and Pink Link managing director Richard Allen.
The presentation was made at the Galpharm Stadium and attended by Sally’s 15-year-old son Jake and his girlfriend Galena Boothroyd, 14.
Mr Allen said: “We’re delighted that a fan like Sally won our competition. She’s Huddersfield born and bred, a lifelong Town supporter and season ticket holder.
“The competition worked in conjunction with The Pink Link Ltd’s sponsorship at The Galpharm Stadium to help encourage local pride in Huddersfield’s sporting legends.”
