Kanu and Yorke set for Sodje Charity game

Posted on: Fri 03 Jul 2009

Sheffield Wednesday have announced more of the big names who will be featuring in the upcoming charity match at Hillsborough.

The Friends Of Africa side will feature stars like Nwankwo Kanu, Dwight Yorke, Cyrille Regis, Johnny Nelson and, of course, six of the Sodje brothers.

Former Owls' hitman Deon Burton will also be making a welcome return to Hillsborough to join the game, which promises to be a huge success.

Fans' favourite and radio pundit, John Pearson, will be taking to the pitch for the Sheffield Allstars team, along with other ex-Wednesday stars and Steel City celebrities.

Sheffield musician, Paul Pashley, who sang on the pitch at the Owls' final game of the season, is just one of the stars who has signed up: "You hear about games like this being played at grounds like Anfield and Old Trafford all the time," he said. "It's about time that Hillsborough was one of those grounds."
