Dons legends to pull on the shirt again for special charity match with fans

Former Dons captain Russell Anderson is one of a number of Aberdeen legends set to pull on the shirt again to help good causes.

Pittodrie heroes such as Brian Irvine, Steven Tosh and current coaches Barry Robson and Paul Sheerin have also agreed to play against fans in a special charity match.

The game will help raise funds for the victims of flash floods last year in Inverurie and Ballater. A portion of the money raised will also go to the AFC Charitable Trust.

The game, organised by the AFC Former Players Association, will see Dons fans making a donation for the chance to play against their heroes.

The gala match will kick off at Inverurie’s Harlaw Park on Sunday, September 3, at 2pm but organisers hope it will become an annual event.

David Rowson, Mark Perry, Chris Clark and Darren Mackie are among the other former Dons who have already agreed to take part.

Russell said: “We are hoping the event will be well supported.”

Former Dons and Scotland boss Craig Brown and club record scorer Joe Harper have agreed to manage the two sides.

Aberdeen’s former shirt sponsors, APEX Tubulars, have also agreed to support the event.

Any Dons fans keen to play should contact Debra Christie at debra.christie@afccommunitytrust.org or call 01224 650474.
