Football Aid

I was just wondering whether anyone on here had played in one of the Football Aid matches at Ewood? Are they any good. Was looking at playing next year.

I did back in 2001 - it was the day after “that night” at Deepdale so there was a lot of joy around the place. Souey turned up,at one point to be interviewed by TV so I managed to get a photo with him as well. My rationale was it was my childhood ambition, I’m the same age as Mark Hughes & I thought if he can run around out there, then so can I..*?

I absolutely loved it and you will always have those memories. So do it...??
 

 

 

* I couldn’t ?

Cheers mate. Yeah I'm 41 now and thinking my legs won't be able to play 90 minutes for much longer. Will definitely give it a go in the next couple of years. Who were the legends when you played? 

Looks like you're about to give away a free kick on that bottom photo. Guessing you were a Flitty fan!

@Wegerleswiggle  Ian Miller was on the home team & Vince O Keefe on the away side. Vince played out in the 2nd half & was better than everyone else on the pitch...except Windy who still had pace to burn in that company at his age !

 

As the old gag goes...”You can go past....the ball can go past...but not both...” ?
