Newcastle Legends Charity Football Match
A match that brings together Newcastle’s sporting community.
Newcastle Legends match will be played by past Newcastle United NSL legends & past Newcastle Jets legends.
This game is all about bringing the Newcastle football community together, raising money for a great charity and getting Newcastle excited about for the upcoming A-League season.
I know the town will be excited to see some of the old boys pull on the boots one last time, there is no one better to show what it means to play for Newcastle.
We would like to donate a % of the takings from the day to the Mark Hughes Foundation. He is a Newcastle Legend and a great bloke, very much a worthy charity.
We would like to bring both sporting teams together for this day. It would be amazing for the Newcastle community to sell out the stadium with Newcastle fans from both codes.
Ideally the game would be played before the main game on the 9th of October.
If that isn’t available then maybe a week before the season kicks off.
I’ve spoken to a few ex-players and they are very excited to be a part of this, I hope the Newcastle Jets let us make this happen as it will only bring positives for the team and the town of Newcastle.
