The Stan game November 18th

A reminder that next Sunday sees the Villa Lions & Legends take on a Stiliyan Petrov XI in a charity match to raise funds for the Pedal for Petrov appeal on behalf of Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research (LLR).

Friends of Aston Villa skipper Stiliyan Petrov are to host a huge charity match in his honour next month with every penny raised going to the Pedal for Petrov appeal on behalf of Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research (LLR). The match kicks off at 1:30pm at Halesowen Town’s ground, The Grove in Old Hawne Lane and admission is £5 for adults and £2.50 from 12 noon.

Stan's XI will include Lee Hendrie while Gareth Barry has also promised to be in attendance. A big crowd is expected and parking around the ground is limited so please get there early.

There's a thread for this somewhere.
Aaah! reading back through the thread I can see why you started another one.

[DrGonzo]

Lock this thread ;P miserable git.

[Chipsticks]

Any clue who else will be in the teams? For all the stick he gets from us, fair play to Barry for helping to organise this.

[dave.woodhall]

The Lions & Legends team is the Old Stars under another name - there'll be assorted European Cup winners and a few others involved.

[Chipsticks]

Ah, I wasn't aware. That'll be good though, I've seen them play a few times and it's always good fun. Interested to see who plays for the Stiliyan Petrov XI!

[dave.woodhall]

Lil' Lee Hendrie's in the Stan team but I don't think - although I'm not sure - they have big names playing.

[Chipsticks]

I should imagine not. Do you know if Stan himself will be in attendance?

Hopefully, but a non-league ground in November might not be too healthy for him to hang around for a couple of hours.

I can't make this now. Being dragged against my wishes to a Christening at 12pm. Not happy at all.

[Jon Crofts]

Lighten up Leeg, you won't feel a thing unless the vicar drops you in the font.

[villainjock]

guests include gareth barry, james milner and david ginola plus many more stars past and present.

I attend quite a few matches at The Grove but probably won't make Sunday, I'm away for the weekend and won't get back in time I don't think.

Here's to a great day for everyone concerned.

[QBVILLA]

I'm going. Some good pubs round Halesowen as well for a Sunday session.
