OXFORD United fans will get the chance to see a number of Chris Wilder’s new signings at tonight’s Youth Development Benefit match at the Kassam Stadium.
In addition, star players Luke Foster and James Constable will be involved in the evening’s entertainment, which includes a fans’ game at half-time.
The main feature, a United All Stars v Celebrity XI match, sees athletics stars such as Iwan Thomas and Darren Campbell, joined by ex-England striker Luther Blissett, take on former United favourites Malcolm Shotton, Paul Moody, John Byrne and Joey Beauchamp.
The club are hoping for as big a crowd as possible, to raise funds for their youth development.
Meanwhile, supporters at tonight’s game will get the chance to win shirts signed by three former stars in the 50/50 draw.
As well as the winner receiving half of the amount raised – with the other half going to United’s youth development – there are runners-up shirt prizes from Dean Whitehead (Sunderland), Sam Ricketts (Wales) and Dexter Blackstock (QPR).
