Messages from friends who hold Isaac Newell and Club Atletico Newells Old Boys dear to their heart...
"I will always remember the day of the exhibition, because not even in my sweetest dream of childhood could I have dreamed to be in the first ever Newells exhibition, especially where it took place, Newell's home town in England! I was really amazed to see how the club's colours, memorabilia, and the passion of the fans was represented. I think Newells' legacy was honoured by each person who participated in the organisation or spoke on the night of the event. With passion, I encourage everyone to keep alive the flame of this man's legacy. A man who has inspired many generations, who share his dreams, to make it happen bigger and better each year. I am sure in the near future you all will receive the visit of many fans and former players, because the place is so special for millions of fans all over the world. Viva Newell, Viva el glorioso y querido Newells Old Boys (Long live Newell, long live the glorious and loved Newells Old Boys)."

"Isaac Newell was so much more than a name. His vision for the positive effect education has on both the mind and body has inspired generations of young people to excel in football, in sport - and beyond. Isaac Newell was a man before his time, a native of Strood, and a symbol not just for Medway and South America, but the whole world. I cannot wait to write more about him!"
