Fans vs Legends

On Sunday 10th May, a team of Tranmere Rovers legends will be pulling on their boots once again in a special charity match against FC Rearguard, the Tranmere Rovers fans' team.  The match will be played at Cammell Laird FC and proceeds will be split between Claire House and St Johns Hospice, Wirral.

Additionally, the game will signal the launch of the brand new Tranmere Rovers Former Players' Foundation.  The Foundation has been put together by Rovers' legend Eric Nixon, and the former goalkeeper is also responsible for putting the team together to face FC Rearguard.

If you, or your company, is interested in sponsoring the event in any way, please get in touch with match organisers at the earliest possible opportunity.

More names will be released shortly.
