They are the newest winners of the NET Community Heroes award
Two men who have made tremendous contributions to Nottingham have had trams named after them. Football coach Bill Chambers, 79, and Pythian Club CEO Benjamin Rosser, 42, were the men honoured at an official unveiling ceremony.
Bill, who was in disbelief of having a tram dedicated, told Nottinghamshire Live: “I’m very elated, for the time I’ve been doing stuff, you can never predict these things. I’ve had awards before but you don’t ring up and say ‘can I have one’ [an award.]” Currently, Bill volunteers his time helping out with Nottingham youth organisation Switch Up and runs chair based exercise classes mainly for the elderly in various places around Nottingham.
Bill said: “There’s not enough infrastructure in sports for the kids, it needs broadening out and more government money. It can’t be left to the council and renewable trusts, there should be more for the young people.”Married for decades, Val beamed at how proud she is of her husband. Val said: “I’m very proud, it’s like being a footballer’s widow because I never see him!"
“This tram represents to the kids of the club what can be achieved with hard work and dedication. This tram resembles our statement for making a positive change in our community, this tram should be a beacon of hope, commitment and togetherness.”
