Henrik’s Heroes v Lubo’s Legends Sunday, May 28, kick off 2pm Premier sports

IN the annals of Celtic’s history, only a chosen few exemplify the outrageous talent, skill and inventiveness required to become an immortal – and next year, Celtic FC Foundation will bring two legends back to Paradise for a titanic clash.

SO PUT SUNDAY, MAY 28, 2017, IN YOUR DIARY!

As team-mates, Henrik Larsson and Lubomir Moravcik were at the forefront of one of the greatest Celtic teams of the modern era, achieving legendary status as part of a decorated side that claimed, among many other accolades, a domestic treble in the 2000/01 season.

Henrik’s Heroes versus Lubo’s Legends will take place at Celtic Park at 2pm on the last Sunday in May, with a host of ex-players and celebrities lined up to participate in what promises to be a special day in Paradise raising funds for Celtic FC Foundation, the Club’s charitable arm.

On next year’s charity match, Henrik Larsson, said: “I’m honoured to be involved in this game for Celtic FC Foundation, which I have learned a lot about in the past year. Returning to Celtic Park, where I experienced so many career highlights, will be truly special for me and my family.

“Now, attention turns to assembling a team to beat my old friend, Lubo. I’ll be making some calls over the next few months and pulling out all the stops. There is no way I’m losing this one!”

At the prospect of facing off against his friend and ex-teammate, Lubomir Moravcik, said: “It’s always humbling to play in a charity match at Celtic Park, the site of countless fond memories and personal triumphs. I know what the Foundation are doing and what difference it makes to people which is why I’ve got involved.

“Seeing familiar faces and putting the boots on again will be very exciting and I’m really looking forward to running out in front of the fans again. As far as team selection, I’ll have a few tricks up my sleeve – Henrik has no chance!”

Celtic FC Foundation Chief Executive, Tony Hamilton, added: “These two Celts are truly among the greatest ever to wear our beloved Hoops and I am very grateful that they have given up their time to help Celtic FC Foundation.

“Our work in the community is steadily moving on with the backing of the Club’s supporters and its executive and staff. Having a showcase end to the season will allow us to develop that work and help more people who need it.

“I’m sure this match will be eagerly anticipated by fans young and old, and over the coming months, we’ll steadily reveal who’ll be playing. Rest assured, this will be a day not to miss at Paradise.”

Oh ya bandit! This is gonna be amazing!

Can't wait

 

Day before my birthday. Class.

 

These two legends will draw some players for their teams I'm sure and draw some crowd as well.

Always amazes me Lubo isn't known as one of the greatest ever to play the game. I don't think he ever won a Ballon d.Or. Just shows you it's big clubs they look at. He's one of the best footballers I've ever seen.

As is Henrik but thankfully he achieved European Cup success and world wide acknowledgement with Barca.

 

Amazing. And after I got that very shirt framed for Christmas. Truly one of the best seasons and eras to watch us in.

 

See larson on the field in flesh again. I'll be there. I'll be asking him to make me a son with my gf

 

Well it is a charity do so he'll probably say aye

See if he actually said aye and you and your gf didn't pure * it and say oh we were only kidding, would you change your surname to Larsson when the kid was born? Bet you'd have a football coach hired before he was 2

 

Would love to come up for it but got uni exams all on the week after starting on the Monday

 

What dates Scots cup final?

Edit! Just checked, day after SC final, if we're there, will be at both! Should be great day with all the trophies on display also.

 

I just creamed in my pants.

 

Aw * yes. Canny wait

* yes, this will be fantastic definitely going.

 

Is right but I've full confidence it's happening this year.

 

Looking forward to this one, should be good.

Going to be a right laugh seeing who plays for who.

 

Get Brendan in one of the teams and Lenny in the other. Bigger clash than Brown v Barton

 

Big Rab in nets surely.


Goals galore!
