Thought I would post this up as I feel it is in aid of a really good cause, even if it appears on the Col Ewe site.
Colchester United announced that they will be holding the "Game of History" Celebrity v Army football match on Sunday November 2
The people behind the celebrity Soccer Six football tournaments are staging this star studded match to raise money and awareness for Help For Heroes, the Army Benevolent Fund, the Colchester Mayors Charity and the British Legion.
A big name team of celebs will be lacing up their boots for the causes against a team of army players for a fame packed match. Previous Game of History matches have taken place in Florence and Derry where the like of Rod Stewart, Mick Hucknall, Gazza, Lee Sharpe, Tony Hadley, Paul Young and Paolo Di Canio have taken part. Soccer Six previous participants reads like a who's who and has been staged at grounds including Liverpool, Everton, Chelsea, Newcastle, Fulham, West Ham, Birmingham, Aston Villa and Reading.
The Game of History at Colchester United's brand new Weston Homes Community stadium will also feature a celeb ladies v Army ladies six a side games and a show by the Red Devils. Colonel Phillips from Colchester Garrison told his Soccer Match is yet another demonstration of the strength of support the civic, civil and business communities of Colchester afford to HM Forces and particularly to 16 Air Assault Brigade currently deployed in Afghanistan.
"On behalf of all Troops Colchester Garrison and the Veterans, we are most grateful to the organisers, Colchester United, Colchester Borough Council and the many other contributors for their enthusiastic support. "This will be a competitive event in the best spirit of sportsmanship, not to be missed, and will directly benefit most deserving causes.
