HEARTBREAK dad Gerry McCann took time out from the frantic search
for his missing daughter Madeleine to watch Sale Sharks beat
Harlequins at Edgeley Park on Friday.
Mr McCann and his legal adviser Clarence Mitchell were guests of
Sharks’ millionaire owner Brian Kennedy.
Mr Kennedy, a previous owner of Stockport County, who sold the
football club to the supporters’ trust, has been a staunch
supporter of the McCann family’s campaign to find Madeleine.
The youngster’s disappearance in Portugal last May, just days
before her fourth birthday, sparked a worldwide hunt, and since
then Gerry and his wife Kate have been at the centre of the
media spotlight.
It has been widely reported that the McCann family’s spokesman
Clarence Mitchell’s £75,000 salary, is being paid by Mr Kennedy
and further help is being given by his lawyer Ed Smethurst.
Mr Kennedy told the Stockport Express yesterday: "Gerry McCann
came out (to the match) for a couple of hours to help clear his
mind. I wouldn’t want this to compromise our campaign to find
Madeleine. I remain absolutely committed to the campaign to find
Madeleine and my support goes on." |
