Another patron quits Sheffield United Community Foundation

By , Reporter
Businesswoman Lindsay Graham resigns from her role as a patron of the Sheffield United Community Foundation following Ched Evans's return to training at the club.

A second patron has resigned from the Sheffield United Community Foundation following the club's decision to allow Ched Evans to train with the side.

Lindsay Graham follows Sky Sports presenter Charlie Webster in quitting the organisation after the League One side confirmed that Evans, who is a convicted rapist, is training with the squad.

In a statement to the Sheffield Star, the businesswoman said: "I have been privileged to support the work of Sheffield United Community Foundation as patron.

"The foundation does amazing work with young people in Sheffield. I have spoken to the foundation this morning and resigned as patron. My reasons are personal."

Graham and Webster were the only two females on the foundation, with other patrons including actor Sean Bean and snooker player Ding Junhui.
