ITFC Legends in Charity Action in Bury
Saturday, 22nd Apr 2017 10:04

Town stars of the past such as Matt Holland, Russell Osman, Kieron Dyer and Titus Bramble will be in action alongside fans who have paid to grace the same turf at the ITFC Legends match at Bury Town’s Ram Meadow on Sunday afternoon (KO 3pm).

Now in its fourth year, the organisers have added a twist to this year’s game with the legends evenly split between the two sides.

The match, which is supported by TWTD, has raised more than £10,000 since it started and this year's game is once again supporting the ITFC Academy and My WiSH Charity’s Forget-Me-Not Dementia Campaign.

Also on the provisional list of ex-Blues set to be involved are Alan Lee, Jermaine Wright, Darren Currie, Simon Milton and Chris Kiwomya. Admission costs £10 for adults and £5 for children.

Milton, academy director at Town, said: “The ITFC Legends match has been a great event to co-host and we wanted to do something a bit different this year.

“So everyone will get a chance to share a dressing room with a set of legends and fans will be given the opportunity to see some of Ipswich’s most famous old faces lock horns against each other.”

On the day, there will also be plenty of opportunity to talk and meet with the legends, both for players and supporters alike."

Sue Smith, fundraising manager for My WiSH Charity which supports West Suffolk Hospital, said: “We are delighted to once again be teaming up with Ipswich Town for this great event.

“With this new twist, we are looking forward to providing something a little different at an event which is always played in great spirits and has been a fantastic fundraiser.”
