STARS LINE UP FOR BRADLEY MATCH
The first players have been announced for the charity match to be held by Everton FC in aid of the Bradley Lowery Foundation.
Tickets for a celebrity charity football game to celebrate the life of the six-yearold from Blackhall Colliery are now on sale.
The Bradley Lowery Celebrity Charity Match, at Goodison Park at 3pm on Sunday, September 3, will benefit the foundation and Everton in the Community.
Heavyweight boxer Tony Bellew will be at the helm for the Bradley’s Blues, while The Lowery Legends will be managed by TV star and businesswoman Katie Price.
The team names have been selected by Bradley’s mum Gemma.
Tony will be joined by pop star Olly Murs and Hollywood actor Stephen Graham, X Factor winner turned Coronation Street actor Shayne Ward and Steps star and boyhood Evertonian Lee Latchford-Evans.
The Lowery Legends team will see model and reality TV star Calum Best join F 2 Free styler Jeremy Lynch, TO WI E star James ‘Arg’ Argent, TV personality Dan Osborne and Union J’s Josh Cuthbert.
Tony said: “As a father and an Evertonian, Bradley touched my heart when we first met him at the Stadium of Light and it was an honour that he chose us as his second club.
“Hopefully we will get a fantastic attendance at Goodison on Sunday, September 3, and people will turn out in their thousands and join us in remembering a very special little boy.”
The charity game has been arranged in conjunction with the Lowery family and the Bradley Lowery Foundation and, with the assistance of celebrity football organiser Sellebrity Soccer.
Bradley won the hearts of football fans around the world during his brave battle against neuroblastoma, a rare type of cancer, which came to an end last month when he passed away at home.
Tickets for the match, which cost £10 for adults and £5 for under-16s, can be bought via www.evertonfc.com/tickets or over the phone on (0151) 556 1878. Booking fees apply to telephone sales.
