The Knights Cup - Buzaglo, Beattie & Anderton added to the lineup!
Nick Shaw 5:47pm, Tue 1st Mar 2016
The Knights Cup featuring a team of Woking Legends playing a Celeb XI is only 10 days away, and we have some exciting lineup changes to announce!
Tim Buzaglo, scorer of that famous hat-trick against West Brom in the FA Cup in 1991 has been added to the Woking Legends side, with Dereck Brown unfortunately having to withdraw from the team due to his commitments at Staines Town.
On the Celeb XI team Francis Benali & Adi Aymes have had to pull out due to other commitments and injury, but we have some fantastic names to replace them!
Tottenham Hotspur & England star Darren Anderton will now be on the wings for the Celebrities, providing the crosses for former Southampton, Everton, and Sheffield United striker James Beattie.
Franny Benali will be a loss in defence, but replacing him is Mark Blake, who made over 300 appearances in the Football League for Fulham, Shrewsbury Town and Southampton.
Sponsoring this fantastic match will be Knights Group Worldwide, leading provider of security to sporting events including all matches at The Laithwaite Community Stadium. We are grateful for their on-going support of the club.
We hope you’re all looking forward to this exciting event, set up to help raise money to cover the treatment and rehabilitation costs of Woking players Scott Rendell & Ismail Yakubu, it will entertain supporters of all ages, with other attractions including a Bouncy Castle and Marching Band, so bring the whole family on Thursday 10th March and help raise money for your club! Gates open at 5.30pm.
Admission is £10 for adults, £5 for concessions, and FREE for under 16s!
