Corinthian-Casuals

Corinthian-Casuals reserve team manager John Chinnery has nominated the Ryman South club's army of worldwide fans and followers to brave the ice bucket challenge for charity!

Chinnery uploaded his dousing over the weekend by fellow coaches and officials at King George's Field onto YouTube before also nominating the club's first and reserve team players to complete the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

The Casuals, with their historic links with Brazilian giants Corinthians Paulista have more than 120,000 fans on Facebook and 8,000 on Twitter at the last count, and Chinnery called on them all to either take the challenge or donate £5 to the Motor Neurone Disease Association by texting ICED55 to 70070.

Chinnery wasn't the only Ryman League coach or manager in recent days to take part in the fund-raising craze that has been taken up by celebrities and sports stars around the world.
