Me neither, love island winner, reality star, I remember in the 70's we had all the big names playing from the shows around town. Think they played on Stanley Park Oval a couple of times?

I remember Russ Abbott playing in nets at Bloomfield Road wearing a giant pair of oversize gloves. Red Rose Showbiz X1? with Alan Beswick and Owen Oyston in the line up.

Everyone's heard of Dean Gaffney ffs, he's been all over tons of comedy panel shows etc after eastenders.
Ah no what a shame I'm on holiday that week, would have loved to cheer on some bloke who was in eastenders 20 years ago . Being reunited with koko's bezzie would have made my life complete as well. Might pop down the travel agents and tell them I've had a better offer.

Yes they did. The games also included a couple of old players - Bill Perry springs to mind.

I am over 70 and know of several hits by James Arthur.
Well Sam Bailey, isn’t she the Leicester fan who coincidentally had her only major hit “Skyscraper” as Leicester were at the dizzy heights of the Premiership.

Dean Gaffney from Eastenders. Is Sam Bailey a singer? Never heard of James Arthur.
This reminds me of the brilliant sketch from porridge with Ronnie Barker where celebrities turned up to play a football match against the inmates but they never heard of any of the celebs.

These days, if you once held open a door for someone off Love Island you’re a celebrity and can make a living by doing ‘celebrity’ versions of tv quiz shows.

Does it matter. Some of you lot are just desperate to have a go at anything Blackpool at the moment. And Brett et Al are giving their time up. I will be going.

They should try to get Ant and Dec to play. It would be a sell out crowd and the lads were both excellent footballers when younger who both played for Newcastle Boys

More pool legends confirmed.
Presume Holloway will be managing?
From the recent email...
"Organisers Sellebrity Soccer enlisted former Seasiders boss Ian Holloway along with former players Brett Ormerod, Alex Baptiste, Neal Eardley confirmed last week with Gary Taylor Fletcher, Danny Coid and Keigan Parker also confirmed over the last few days. Celebrities include the likes of popstar James Arthur, Love Island winner Kai Fagan, Soap star Dean Gaffney, Reality star Dan Osborne and X Factor winner Sam Bailey.
More celebrities and former players set to confirm in the weeks leading up to the game.
Sellebrity Soccer have partnered with two charities to benefit from proceeds from the game.
Brian House Children’s Hospice has been nominated as a local charity in memory of local youngster Jordan Banks. The charity supports families on the Fylde Coast and provides a home-from-home environment for anyone who needs it. They care for local children with very complex needs and life limiting conditions.
The Matilda Foundation was founded following the still birth of Stacie & Mark Cosgrove’s Daughter Matilda in June 2020. Since then, they have been raising money to take gifts into Alderhey Children's Hospital and as they have grown they have been able to go into hospices and care homes with an aim to grow the foundation every year."
It’s for some good causes. Might be good to watch some no pressure football at BR...

You just don't get the point do you!!!!!
It's for a children's hospice.....£12 bloody pounds and you're cynical about it.
Children dying from cancer and other incurable diseases and you think it's funny to mock it...
You plank.
