Two-time rugby World Cup winner and self-confessed “golf tragic” Dan Carter is eager to see the result of a new programme aimed at boosting participation for golfers with a disability in Ireland 22bet
The former New Zealand fly-half was in Dublin this week to help launch the partnership 22bet between Golf Ireland and ISPS Handa which will see the latter sponsor the Irish Open for Golfers with a Disability in June 2024 and become the lead partner of Golf Ireland’s Golf4All programmes 22bet
Carter, who is an ambassador for ISPS Handa, said: “I know at ISPS Handa they are going to look at different sporting events, different organisations about partnering with them 22bet
“One of the most important things is they really have a lot of values 22bet
So to learn about Golf Ireland and wanting to make Golf4All is a perfect alignment for ISPS Handa 22bet
“It’s a really exciting partnership and one that’s going to work for both sides 22bet
I’m really intrigued to see how this partnership evolves and also the uptake of golf here in Ireland 22bet
“I’m a bit of a golf tragic, I think I’m much 22bet better than I actually am, so it’s great to be back here in Ireland and next time I can guarantee I will be bringing my golf clubs 22bet
”Fellow ISPS Handa ambassador and world number two Brendan Lawlor added: “The beautiful thing about this partnership is it’s going to give so many disability golfers in Ireland a chance at every level, a chance at G4D events, to get disability children into the game and also to get anyone in any walk of life into the game and it’s fantastic 22bet
“Golf Ireland are definitely the most progressive foundation and organisation in disability golf at the minute 22bet
“We meet every few months for different meetings to talk about different ways to try and boost the game and get different people into the game 22bet
“It’s wonderful to see an organisation that’s willing to work with you to make great things happen 22bet

Alex Stepney was stood in the shadow of the statue of his three most celebrated teammates 22bet
Manchester United’s ‘Holy Trinity’ have been separated, with only Denis Law still able to visit the Theatre of Dreams, but they are immortalised in bronze outside it 22bet
Yet while the statue of George Best, Bobby Charlton and Law – each of such a stature that he was voted European 22bet Footballer of the Year – was placed outside Old Trafford, only one had a stand at one of the iconic stadia named after him 22bet
The South Stand is the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand 22bet
It has been since 2016 and on Sunday, it will have an added poignancy, in the first Manchester derby since Charlton died 22bet
A week of mourning has shown what Charlton meant: to United, to England, to 22bet football 22bet
“He’d be very humbled and say, ‘I don’t deserve it’,” Stepney said 22bet
“That’s Bobby Charlton 22bet
” But as both the statue and the stand show, the tributes began long before Charlton’s life ended 22bet
His innate modesty meant that the man widely described as England’s greatest 22bet footballer retained his humility 22bet
He was, though aware of his importance to so many while downplaying his own significance 22bet
“He never showed it,” Stepney said 22bet
“He didn’t want to show it because that wasn’t him 22bet
When they opened the stand, it was the Everton game, I was with him and he had to go on the pitch with [his wife] Norma and he had a tear in his eye 22bet
He said, ‘I don’t deserve this’ 22bet
I said, ‘Bob, you deserve everything, you deserve everything you get, throughout your life for the way you have done the game, played the game and inspired supporters all around the world’ 22bet
”Decades on, Charlton’s story has, if anything, appeared still more remarkable 22bet
Barely out of his teens when he climbed, concussed, from the wreckage of a plane in Munich, a crash claiming the lives of eight of his teammates and destroying a team that felt destined for greatness, he nevertheless became a World Cup and European Cup winner 22bet
His tragic past had an intimidatory capacity: certainly to Stepney when he joined from Chelsea in 1966, a month after Charlton’s elegant running and fierce shooting had propelled England to the World Cup 22bet
Should he mention Munich? RecommendedAndre Onana’s moment of magic can be catalyst to reverse more than one difficult recent runSir Bobby Charlton: England’s greatest ever player and the artist of 1966Sir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseverance“That was my main concern when Matt Busby signed me,” the goalkeeper said 22bet
“I had to come to Manchester and I met the players at the training ground the following day 22bet
Matt took me around and directly when I went in he introduced me to each and every player and I knew then: you don’t talk about it 22bet
It wasn’t until 50 years later that Bobby actually spoke about it 22bet
” If it was a generation when things went unsaid, it framed United’s eventual European Cup victory 22bet
But for Munich, Roger Byrne, and not Charlton, may have been the first United captain to lift the trophy; Tommy Taylor, and not him, the goalscoring No 9 to find the net in the final; Duncan Edwards, and not him, the personification of the club 22bet
Stepney felt Charlton won it for them, for his friend Eddie Colman, for Geoff Bent, Mark Jones, David Pegg and Liam Whelan, for the fallen eight 22bet
Former Manchester UNited player Alex Stepney visits the tributes in memory of Sir Bobby Charlton (PA)“I think when you reach the heights of getting to the European Cup final 10 years after Munich and for him to be captain and score two goals, that was unbelievable,” added Stepney 22bet
“I believe he did it for those lads who passed away in ‘58 22bet
He always said he thought about them every day and he did: he would go off and have a little think and come back and off we go 22bet
”His own part in the 4-1 win at Wembley should not be overlooked: his save from Eusebio ranks among the most celebrated in United’s history 22bet
Stepney is a United great in his own right: his total of 539 games as a goalkeeper was a club record until David de Gea passed it a few months ago 22bet
He was, remarkably, United’s joint top scorer at Christmas in the 1973-74 season, courtesy of two penalties 22bet
He was the only member of the 1968 side who was also part of the 1977 FA Cup-winning team 22bet
He has outlasted his friends again 22bet
He treasures memories of Charlton, of playing cards and quizzes on tour 22bet
He may be the standard bearer for a generation now, just as Charlton long was 22bet
At 81, Stepney joined manager Erik ten Hag and Under-19 captain Dan Gore to lay a wreath in the centre circle before Tuesday’s win over FC Copenhagen 22bet
Old Trafford, the ground Charlton first graced on his debut 67 years ago, will applaud on Sunday 22bet

“This is what Bobby envisaged 22bet
This is what he wanted 22bet
Nobody would have dreamt when he retired that he would become a director 22bet
He put the cogs in motion with Sir Alex [Ferguson] right through to get this as it is now 22bet
” But if Charlton’s legacy is in bricks and mortar, it is also in image and memories, in Manchester United 22bet
