Speaking about the reaction from Marcus Rashford’s family after watching his charity efforts, his cousin and Stockport County midfielder Lois Maynard told the Mirror: “Marcus has always seemed older than he actually is.
“He's always been the sort of person who's interested in trying to make a change and now you're starting to see the fruition of that.
“We've probably got closer as he's got older. I used to go and watch his games when he was younger, with his older brothers, Dwaine and Dane. What he's done has made me extremely proud. I'm interested in that kind of thing myself, trying to make a change in society.
“So to see your younger cousin doing that, as well as being amazing on the field, makes me really proud. People might look at what he's done and say it's a great achievement, but that's just Marcus being himself.”
Rashford has earned plaudits from all over for his exceptional charity work, as he continuously helps feed millions of hungry children in the UK every week with his association with FareShare. He also compelled the UK govt to help struggling families during the winter period and ensure they don’t have to go hungry.
Maynard is still an up and coming footballer, who will also play in the FA Cup 3rd round with non-league side Stockport when they face West Ham United on Monday. If his side can defeat the Hammers, there’s actually a chance that Maynard could face Rashford later on in the FA Cup in what could potentially be a memorable encounter for their family.
