Spurs stars take up the challenge

FORMER England football star Martin Chivers will be part of a Tottenham Hotspur Old Boys side that will appear at the Salts later this month.

Chivers will skipper a Spurs' Veterans' XI, which is also expected to include Mark Falco, Jimmy Neighbour, Phil Beal, Ralph Coates and Perry Suckling, to take on a 1066 Sporting Club XI in the 2nd Annual 1066 Sporting Club Soccer Challenge on Sunday September 26.

The match, like the 1066 Sporting Club Cricket Challenge between Hastings Priory and Lashings All-Stars and many other events laid on by Style Promotions, will raise funds for the 1066 Sporting Club, which aids fledgling sporting talent in the locality.

Style's Terry Avann said: "We had a great game last year against a Chelsea Vets side and we're looking for similar support for this year's event. In addition to seeing some real soccer legends close up, there'll be a penalty shoot-out for the youngsters and food and licensed bar to keep mum and dad entertained."

Admission to the game, which kicks off at 4pm, is by programme with adults priced at 5 and children at 2.50. More details can be obtained from Style Promotions on (01424) 423123.
