A football fan and her dad were right on target for Father's Day – after winning our latest Co-op competition. 

We asked readers here to send in best moments or memories of their dad to be in with a chance of winning £50 of Co-op vouchers.  

Sandbach woman, Sarah Greenwood from Manifold Close, sent in a lovely story about her dad, Edward Kelly, who lives in North Manchester and is a big Manchester City fan.

The pair recently travelled to Istanbul to see their favourite team in the European Champions League final against Inter Milan. 

 "My dad has multiple sclerosis, and now relies heavily on a wheelchair," said Sarah.  

"However, we share our love of Manchester City and frequently attend football matches together. 

"We went to Istanbul for the Champions League final last weekend and saw them win which was amazing!

"He doesn't let his MS stop him doing what he wants to do - although at times he has to limit things! 

"He has terrible dad jokes too - think it must be an unwritten rule for parents," she joked.  

Well done Sarah and we hope you and your dad enjoy the £50 Father's Day treat from the Co-op. 

We had a wonderful response to our Father's Day competition and hope all dads enjoyed their special day last Sunday (June 18th).
