As we fast approach the end of what has been an extremely entertaining Premier League season a number of charity games and testimonials have been scheduled which will be featuring ex Premier League footballers.
One of the biggest charity games of the season has already taken place in aid of the Hillsborough 96 and featured a Liverpool team made up of former British players and a Liverpool team made up of former foreign players who represented the club.
A sellout crowd was treated to a great exhibition match which featured players who have recently retired such as Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen along with legends who retired many years ago such as Jan Molby and Ian Rush.
The majority of the players looked like they had kept themselves in pretty good shape. Fowler had put on a bit of timber and Molby was always big as a player anyway but players like Redknapp, David James and Luis Garcia all looked pretty trim.
The final score was 2-2 and was a superb day out for all involved.
Other games which are coming up in the next couple of months include former Wolverhampton Wanderers legend Jody Craddock's testimonial which will include former Wolves and Sunderland team mates such as Niall Quinn, Gavin McCann, Kevin Kilbane, Kevin Phillips, Gary Breen, Alex Rae and Michael Gray.
Tottenham Hotspur legend Ledley King has also been granted a testimonial match by the club and he will have a Spurs XI made up of players who he played with against the current first team. King's team will include former Premier League stars such as David Ginola, Darren Anderton and Teddy Sheringham.
John Beresford and Rob Lee are a number of ex Premier League footballers who will be playing in a Help for Heroes charity match in May. They are included in a team of recently retired Premier League players who will be playing against a team from the British Defence Medical Services. Other former players signed up to play are Ugo Ehiogu, Lee Carsley, Alan Stubbs, Dion Dublin and Darren Huckerby.
