Ireland v England
The Legends
Jacks Boys are Back
It can exclusively be announced today that the Legends are returning to Tolka Park, Dublin. In a match that will relive international footballing history, Ireland and England Legends will play once again on Irish soil on Wednesday 26th August 2009 KO 7.30pm.

The England Legends have confirmed their secret weapon Andy Cole will give them the competitive edge over the Ireland Legends, as the second highest goal scorer in Premier League history Cole scored 187 goals in his professional career. He is one of the few players in England to have swept all possible honours in the English game, winning 15 caps for England between 1995 and 2001. Paul Parker, Gary Pallister, Chris Waddle and Lee Sharpe have also been confirmed to.......
