One of Our Own: Remembering Maddy Cusack

Rainbow Blades was shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of SUFC Women’s player Maddy Cusack. At the club since 2019, she recently surpassed 100 appearances as a Blade and was named Vice-Captain for the current campaign.

Not only a leader on the pitch, Maddy was also a big advocate for equality, diversity and inclusion – featuring in our Proud Allies film and supporting other campaigns over the years.

We plan to pay tribute to a dedicated member of the Blades family at United Women’s next home game on 8 October at Bramall Lane. Sending love to her family, friends and teammates at this very difficult time. Rest in Peace, Maddy.
