Yesterday I had the please of supplying the pre-game and half-time music for the Eve Merton Dreams Trust Charity football match.
Firstly I have to say what a good job the Trust did - special mentions to founders Martin Lawrence & Clynt Johnson as well as Glynn Harrison who all put in a lot of time and effort - all which paid off!
The Legends team prevailed over the 80 minute game and won 11-5, in a game which included a great hat-trick from ex-Doncaster player Bruce Dyer, a special mention about one of the goals which included 5 or 6 touches without the ball touching the ground finished off by a Dyer volley.
Man of the match for the Legends was Lee Hendrie, who played the entire game and never once seemed short on time on the ball, he also got on the score sheet a few times as well as supplying a couple of assists.
The crowd also got to see other ex-pros such as David May, Jason McAteer, Don Hutchinson alongside ex-Rovers trio Tim Ryan, Andy Warrington & Marc Albrighton. As well as the footballers, The Legends team we're also joined by a few actors in the form of Devon Anderson, MArcquelle Ward & Stephen Nicholas.
