Colin Cooper "emotional and proud" to reach summit of Kilimanjaro

Hartlepool United manager Colin Cooper has spoken from the top of Mount Kilimanjaro of his pride in completing the charity trek in memory of his son.

“I am emotional and proud,” he said. “I will be doing a couple of things in memory of Fin up here. It has been a heck of a day and it will take us another seven or eight hours to get back down to our camp but it’s been a marvellous team effort by everybody involved."

“What this group of 15 has done is pushed ourselves to our limit in the hope we can raise as much money as possible for children’s causes and charities."
