Surprises in stall as Fortuna Hjørring wins celebrity signed t-shirt

Fortuna girl’s football team was in the middle of a tournament game in Hjørring in early January. Suddenly their buddy David Stoltenborg, volunteer at the MTG United for Peace’s Cup Finals, showed up on the pitch to announce that the sought after t-shirt signed by world famous footballers was theirs. The initial surprise was followed by laughter and cheers when the girl’s team realized they had, indeed, won the competition!     
Celebrity footballers Fredi Bobic, Viv Anderson, Lee Martin, Jan Åge Fjørtoft, Brian Deane and Frank Stapleton amongst others did not hesitate to sign the t-shirt when they were taking part in the charity matches held at the cup finals in October. A lot of competitors entered the competition in quest for the t-shirt by answering the question: “Who has just won the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize?” The answer, of course, was Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkol Karman. An answer the Danish team knew very well, since they were in Oslo, at the Peace Centre in fact, when the candidates were announced!  
MTG volunteer David Stoltenborg entered the competition on behalf of Fortuna girl’s team representing Denmark and he was excited to hear that they had won:
“I was so surprised when I was told about it! I then started to make arrangements for how to deliver the t-shirt to the girls. I originally hoped that the t-shirt could be delivered as a Christmas present, but that fell through. I managed to get in contact with the girl’s coach to set a time and date later to deliver the price and set off in my car.”
Little did David know that the coach hadn’t told the girls, as she wanted it to be a surprise. And a surprise it turned out to be for David as well who had no idea the girls were taking part in the big tournament Danske Bank Cup when he arrived, or that he would be summoned onto the pitch with a microphone in his hands:
“The director of the tournament encouraged me to tell the whole audience what was going on! It was a bit nerve racking but it was priceless to see the faces of Fortuna girl’s team as they must have thought: ’That’s David from Oslo, isn’t it? But what’s he doing here? Now?’ It was also great to get the opportunity to talk about our worthy cause as well as giving away the t-shirt to the happy girls.”
The t-shirt will from now on be used as a weekly prize for "man of the match" after each football match. The chosen player gets to keep the t-shirt until the next match and at the end of the year the t-shirt will be hung up on the wall of Hjørring’s club house.  It will be a t-shirt full of exciting memories - in many ways!
