Just a short note to say that the Charity Football Match is back at the Riverside Stadium this year!

This year I am supporting the efforts of others – basically Middlesbrough Football Club and Teesside Hospice.

The Game will be on May 18th with kick off at 6pm.

mfc.co.uk are handling the bidding this year and they are off to a flyer – its open already!

The format will be as last year – kit supplied and all that.

At the moment we are trying to get player / managers so you will be able to play alongside a Boro legend.

George Courtney has agreed to ref again and we have kit too!

I’ll be bidding to play – hope to see you there – also I seem to have lost a few of the email addresses of some of the lads from last year – please circulate this notice to all those you know.

Thanks!
