Another huge highlight of recent times was when Scholarship Connect arranged for McGuire to meet his footballing hero - Alan Shearer - and watch the Newcastle United v Manchester United Premiership draw at St James’ Park in December 2021. The ‘behind closed doors’ meet was a ‘pick-me-up’ for the tremendous bravery and rehabilitation work McGuire had put in to get his career back on track after the horrendous leg fracture.
