Keith Alexander Benefit Match

Quoted Text

Teams to wear England and St Lucia national team kits for Keith Alexander Benefit Game.

The fixture on Monday 3rd May at Sincil Bank Stadium, Lincoln (ko 3pm) will see a Keith Alexander XI, managed by Keith's assistant at Lincoln and Macclesfield Gary Simpson, take on an All Star XI, managed by former England International Paul Ince.

The two sides, which will include a host of current and ex-professionals that have been influenced by Keith Alexander throughout their careers, will wear the kits of the two national sides for the game.

The St Lucia national team kit features yellow socks that Keith was renowned for wearing on the touchline, while it will also feature the Sacred Sports Foundation logo, which Keith and his family helped set up to benefit the people of St Lucia.

The England kit meanwhile will feature the "Kick it Out" logo, another organisation that was close to Keith's heart.

"We are honoured to be able to donate St. Lucia national team kit for Keith Alexander's Benefit game," said Patrick Mathurin, president of the St. Lucia Football Association.

"Keith was an inspirational figure and manager. He was in the midst of tremendous work here in St. Lucia working closely with us at the St. Lucia Football Association and his legacy lives on through his Sacred Sports Foundation, which continues to work in partnership for the development of football on the Island."

The first group of the players that will be involved in the game are set to be announced later in the week.

Ticket prices for the game have been set at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions with a bucket collection for anyone wishing to donate any more.

Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Thursday 15th April from the Sincil Bank Ticket Office or with a credit or debit card over the phone on 01522 880011 (Mon to Fri 9am - 5pm).
