Leicester Legends Reunite For Charity Spectacular
A Walkers charity football match involving former Leicester City legends and celebrities will take place at the Walkers Stadium on Sunday, April 29 (3pm).
The match, in aid of Bliss - the premature baby charity, is expected to attract a bumper crowd on the afternoon with organisers hopeful that ex-City chief and current Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill will agree to manage the Legends squad.
The likes of Muzzy Izzet (pictured), Matt Elliott, Gerry Taggart, Emile Heskey, Ian Walker, Tony Cottee, Frank Sinclair, Les Ferdinand, Garry Parker, Simon Grayson, Steve Guppy, Trevor Benjamin, Jordan Stewart, Andrew Impey, Ade Akinbiyi, Ben Thatcher, Stef Oakes, Paul Dickov and Pontus Kamark have all been invited to turn out for 'O'Neill's Legends'.
Meanwhile, the Walkers All-Stars side will consist of Walkers employees as well as a selection of local, national and international celebrities.
Organisers are hoping to acquire the services of Serge and Tom from Leicester's very own Kasabian, Soccer AM presenter Tim Lovejoy, former Leicester Tigers, England and British Lions duo Martin Johnson and Austin Healey, Dean Gaffney, Michael Greco plus many more.
"This should prove to be a fantastic afternoon of entertainment for a worthy cause and we are grateful to Leicester City for allowing us to stage the event," said organiser Layla Whiting.
"The interest has been immense and we have been overwhelmed with the response from some of the club's former players who have been delighted to lend their support."
Half-time entertainment will include a cross bar challenge with former Foxes manager Micky Adams and assistant Alan Cork while there is also an exclusive raffle planned.
Only 100 raffle tickets are available at a cost of £100 each with the winner gaining the chance to play 45 minutes as part of the City Legends team.
Tickets go on sale from Tuesday, April 10 and are available from the Walkers Stadium Ticket Office.
They are priced at £10 for adults and £5 for children or a family ticket (two adults, three children) costs £20.

. I suggest taking a couple of cans and relaxing in the countryside on whats forecast as a warm sunny day. Relax enjoy a beer and then catch the result later on. That way you will have a lovely afternoon and will only need to endure two seconds of pain rather than two hours.:icon_wink
