Man Utd Legends to play Donegal
22.01.09
FINN Harps have won a
major coup with the announcement of a glamour
friendly against Manchester Utd Legends at their
home ground in Ballybofey.
The Harps' fundraiser will be the first game in
which the Legends' team will appear as an official
Man Utd entity.
It will be led by the club's global ambassador Bryan
Robson with former Republic of Ireland
internationals Frank Stapleton, Dennis Irwin, Gary
Pallister, Lee Sharpe and Clayton Blackmore also
expected to feature. Harps' chairman Derek Wilkinson
expressed his delight at the news. |

Its a major coup for
Finn Harps to be the first club to welcome the
official Manchester Utd Legends. We can assure Bryan
and his team a very warm welcome to Donegal and we
will be doing everything in our power to ensure a
wonderful occasion for all sport fans in the North
West.
Former Finn Harps and Linfield star Anthony Gorman
has more reason than most to be looking forward to
playing the Red Devils.
I was a big Man U fan growing up and to be playing
against the likes of Bryan Robson and Frank
Stapleton is |
something I will
cherish," said Anthony.
Harps will also host a 'Night with the Legends'
following the match where fans can hear interviews
with players and enjoy a barbeque buffet and music
in their company. The big glamour friendly will take
place at Finn Park, Ballybofey on Monday, March 16,
2009 with kick-off at 7.30pm. Seats 25; adult
terrace 20 and concession 10. Tickets for the
after-match party at Jackson's Hotel cost 25.
Tickets for both match and party can be bought in
Inishowen at Mac's Newsagents, Buncrana and
Doherty's Newsagents, Carndonagh. |
