Giles' achievements include playing in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, 2000 Sydney Olympics, European and World Cups, and is the only English player to ever top the goal-scoring charts in a major tournament, namely in Dublin in 1995.

The day was a chance to acknowledge both individual and team successes and around 300 pupils received at least one prize and in many cases several awards.
