has once again proven that he’s not just a national hero who feeds hungry kids, but also an all-round great guy. The footballer was yesterday presented with an MBE for his campaign against child poverty, and said afterwards that he would be giving his medal to his mum, Melanie Maynard.
He said: ‘She is an unbelievably strong woman. Sometimes I cannot put into words how much I love her . My mum has been through some of the worst things that you could imagine, but she has never let anything that ’s happened take away her smile. In his letter, Marcus spoke of his mother’s love for him, and how it made him who he is today: ‘The man you see before you is a product of her love and care. I have friends who are from middle-class backgrounds who have never experienced a small percentage of the love I have gotten from my mum: a single parent who would sacrifice everything she had for our happiness.’Marcus’s mum is the person he goes to for a pep talk before a football match, and hers is the advice he values most.
