Delta brings in Bailey

in the country tomorrow for a presentation on sponsorship and administration.
This is one of the initiatives by Castle Lager to bring glamour into local football and to restore its former glory. Delta Corporation director for corporate affairs, George Mutendadzamera, said this is an initiative aimed at boosting the image of the game.
“This is just the beginning of what Delta wants to do around the sports fraternity. The workshop will not only benefit those in the sports fraternity but it will also upgrade the skills of sports journalists.
“As the season kicks off in earnest this weekend, we hope that it will be a perfect season since it is being sponsored by the brand that brings ‘perfect moments’,” said Mutendadzamera.
The workshop follows the promise to upgrade the skills of sports journalists made by Delta Corporation chief executive Joe Mutizwa at the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League Launch last month. Bailey played for Manchester United as a goalkeeper for close to 300 games. He was capped twice for England. He grew up in South Africa and started his career with Wits University in Johannesburg. In the late 1970s, Bailey paid his own fare to Manchester for a trial with Manchester United.
He established himself as United goalkeeper in the late 1970s following the retirement of Alex Stepney, but in one of his first crucial games he missed a cross in the 1979 FA Cup final, allowing Alan Sunderland to score the winning goal for Arsenal with just seconds remaining. Despite this, he was considered to be one of the best goalkeepers in England in the early- to mid 1980s. Bailey went to South Africa where he subsequently resumed his career with Kaizer Chiefs, before retiring in 1990. He was a well-known radio presenter on Talk radio 702. Bailey is now a football presenter for Supersport. He was an ambassador in South Africa’s successful bid to host the 2010 Fifa World Cup and does motivational speaking centered around increasing the benefits of that event.
