Preparations are underway for the match - which will see a host of Legends from Manchester United and Liverpool battle it out at Terryland Park on Saturday May 24 for the first time ever in Irish footballing history.
Hosted by Galway United FC, in conjunction with GrowSport.com, this exclusive Legends game, which kicks off at 3pm, is one you can't afford to miss.
A total of 32 Legends plus celebrity managers will take part in a one-off game which will see footballing icons including Liverpool Legends John Aldridge, Alan Kennedy, Jan Molby, Phil Neal, Paul Walsh, Ronnie Whelan - along with Manchester United Legends David May, Clayton Blackmore, Denis Irwin, Lee Sharpe, Mike Duxbury and Mickey Thomas gracing our pitch.
Galway's 4* Clayton Hotel is the venue for a star studded Gala Dinner later that evening - giving fans the chance to rub shoulders with their heroes and enjoy guest appearances from a range of other celebrities.
Nick Leeson from Galway United FC commented "We're thrilled to be hosting a Legends match right here in Galway. These matches are often played on the international circuit, but it's the first time these stellar players are coming together to play and demonstrate their skill in Ireland".
Added Colin Telford from Promoters Grow Sport, "There's no doubt that this will be an epic day out for local football fans - these players still know exactly how to take the game to another level. But it's also going to raise vital funds for the development of talented young players here - so that having been inspired by these sporting champions, they too can go on to enjoy the highest levels of achievement in the game."
