Record Amount raised from Safe Hands
 A record amount was raised from the sixth David Seaman Safe Hands Charity Golf Classic, in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. The two-day competition sponsored by Hertz Portugal was a huge success raising in excess of £150,000 for the charity.
23 teams participated in the event, playing alongside David Seaman and personalities from the world of sport and entertainment. The final winners with a score of 82 were John Peavoy, Geoffrey Vickers and Noel Barker who formed the Sportax team, captained by the host himself - David Seaman.
The weekend concluded with a spectacular gala dinner where guests bid for auction prizes including a luxury holiday at Coral Cove in Barbados and the chance to join David at an Arsenal football match in the new Emirates Stadium with hospitality at the members-only Diamond Club, which received an admirable £10,000 bid.
Guests were invited to donate £35 for a glass of champagne which automatically entered them into a draw to win a heart shaped diamond worth approximately £8000!
The record figure was announced ahead of an impressive firework display which was set off over the Parque da Floresta golf course, drawing a close to the event.
David Seaman became an official patron for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust in 2005 and the event was held to raise funds so that the charity can continue funding research to improve the symptoms of CF, find an effective treatment and ultimately, a cure. He commented "The event was a huge success. I'm delighted to have raised such a fantastic sum of money for The Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Everyone was extremely generous and I'd like to thank everybody involved for all their help and support!"
