Childhood friend of cancer victim 'really touched' by Marcus Rashford's poignant World Cup celebration
A childhood friend of the cancer victim to whom Marcus Rashford dedicated his World Cup goals against Wales has described the England player’s tribute as 'really touching'. The Manchester United star pointed to the sky after finding the net and revealed afterwards that he was paying tribute to his late friend Garfield 'Garf' Hayward.
"He never missed anything. He was great. Nobody ever had a bad word to say about him. Such a happy person."£ "He’s had quite a long battle with cancer, so I’m pleased I managed to score for him. He's always been a big supporter of mine. He was just a great person and I'm pleased he came into my life, really."
"Today, going to school, they were bouncing off the walls. They couldn’t wait to go and tell them what Marcus Rashford had done. That celebration, I can’t even explain what it’s done… it's just lifted everyone’s spirits. Even though it's such a bad thing that's happened, everyone is just so happy that Garf's been put out there. It just shows how much he was loved."
