United legends set to visit Glossop

A group of Manchester United legends will descend on Glossop this Saturday as a team of stars are set to take on Glossop North End at the Asgard Engineering Stadium. 

Big names include 1999 treble winner David May and 2016 Premier League winner Danny Simpson, with 1968 European Cup winner John Aston Jr set to kick the game off. 

Prior to kick-off, a blue plaque will be unveiled to celebrate 125 years since Glossop North End’s promotion to the old first division. 

The plaque will commemorate the late Sir Samuel-Wood, who bankrolled the club during it’s time in the first division. 

The presentation will take place from 10:45am, with doors opening from 10, while the match will get underway from 3pm. 

During half-time, donations will be taken for local charity Reuben’s Retreat, who support families who have suffered the loss of a child or have a child living with medical complexities. 

Due to high demand, tickets for the event have now unfortunately sold out.
