Central defender Gareth McAuley will play in a benefit match for his former Lincoln City manager Keith Alexander at Sincil Bank on Monday, 3rd May (KO 3pm). Alexander died at the age of 53 earlier in the season while boss at Macclesfield.

McAuley, who has been given permission by Town boss Roy Keane to play in the game, was deeply saddened by Alexander’s death: "Keith signed me for Lincoln and became a friend as well as my manager. He was a true gentleman.”

The game sees a Keith Alexander XI, managed by his assistant at Lincoln and Macclesfield, Gary Simpson, face an All-Star XI, managed by ex-England international midfielder Paul Ince.

The teams will wear the colours of England and St Lucia and tickets cost £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.
