Goater Plays In Charity Football Match In UK
[Written by Stephen Wright]
Shaun Goater was among the former professional players rolling back the years in a charity football match at the Manchester City Academy Stadium today [April 3].
The Bermuda legend joined his former Manchester City teammate Paul Dickov and ex-Premier League stars Wes Brown, Matt Le Tissier and Robbie Savage in dusting off their boots as part of the Manchester Remembers event to mark the fifth anniversary of the Manchester Arena bombing.
Goater’s Legends XI, coached by former England manager Sam Allardyce, proved too strong for The Celebrity XI, overseen by former City players Peter Reid and Joe Royle.
The event was organised by former Police officer Aaron Lee, with all proceeds going to five charities set up after the attack – The Chloe and Liam Together Forever Trust, Liv’s Trust, The Megan Hurley Foundation, The Remember Nell Foundation, and Eilidh’s Trust.
The Arena explosion killed 22 people and injured more than 1,000.
