On January 24 this year, Stephen Sutton addressed the AGM of St James’s Place at the O2 Arena. Here is an abridged transcript of his speech.
Hello everyone (there's quite a lot of you) – my name's Stephen, I'm 19 years old. and first of all I'm just going to tell you a bit about me. Essentially I'm just a normal kid. There's a cute picture of me in primary school - ah, how cute. Like I say, I was a normal kid. Went to high school as normal - there's me doing county level cross-country running for example. I also did county level athletics - there's me setting my school's Under-15 400m record which to this day still stands.
I also played football for numerous teams including Walsall football club at one point, and I also played cricket, rugby, basketball, all sorts. I only brought this photo because of the incredible kit we had to wear, because it's something else, isn't it? I was also a drummer in a local band and I was studying hard at school with the ambition of becoming a doctor - there's a good old biology lesson. Like I say, I was a normal teenager. For example, here's me at Reading music festival - I'm the guy in green.
