FOOTBALL fans can bid for the chance to play under two legends of the game in a match to raise charity cash.

Ipswich Town heroes George Burley and Terry Butcher will be in the dugouts for a match at the Weston Homes Community Stadium in aid of GeeWizz which provides specialist equipment to youngsters with life-threatening conditions, a disability or cancer.

Supporters can pay to play in the game on May 20 under Burley, who led Town to the Premier League when he was in charge, or England icon Butcher.

Both men played under Sir Bobby Robson in the 1980s when Ipswich secured the FA Cup and UEFA Cup.

The match is the brainchild of businessman Graham Parkin who held a similar game last year in aid of the Papworth Trust.

He said: "Last year’s match was a great opportunity for local people to experience what it is like to be a professional footballer.

“We used the dressing rooms, warmed up on the pitch and then enjoyed a competitive game of football in fantastic surroundings.

“It was a memorable experience and fantastic that we did it to raise money for a local charity – Papworth Trust.

“This year, once again, players will pay for the right to play at a professional football ground with all money supporting GeeWizz – as well as money raised on the day through ticket sales and a raffle.”

Butcher, an ambassador of GeeWizz, said he was delighted to be playing such an active role in supporting his chosen charity.

He said: “It's going to be fantastic being back in the dugout again and up against my former teammate George Burley.

“Knowing George as I do, he will want to win so it's England versus Scotland, on May 20 just like it was back in 1978 - and I'll be looking for history to repeat itself as England won that match 1-0.”

Tickets to watch on the day will be £5 for adults while children get in for free. Kick-off is at noon.
