Bid for a place on Arsenal FC team in Maidenhead match

Ralf Little and Giles Alderson celebrate a goal for the Arsenal Legends side.
Arsenal legends and celebrities are set to play a charity match against a Maidenhead United XI at York Road on Sunday, October 14.
The Arsenal charity team have been playing matches and raising money since 1992.
They are managed by the former Gunner and Sheffield Wednesday player Brian Hornsby, picking from a pool of ex-Arsenal players including Chris Whyte, Steve Williams, Perry Groves, Paul Davis, Jimmy Carter, David Hillier and Martin Hayes, and celebrities including Ralf Little (from The Royle Family), Patrick Robinson (Casualty), Giles Alderson (The Dammed United), Tommy Walsh (Groundforce), Sam Attwater (EastEnders) and Robbie Gee (Mean Machine).




A number of former Magpies are expected to line up for the Maidenhead team.
Money raised from the match will be divided between the nominated charities the Link Foundation, Arsenal Charitable Trust and Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance Trust.
There will also be a penalty shootout competition and face painting for children. Kick-off is 2pm and entrance is £5 and under 12s are free.

The Advertiser is also holding an online auction for one football-mad reader to enjoy the complete matchday experience with the Arsenal team.
The highest bidder will be given the chance to play alongside the Arsenal players and share the dressing room banter by joining the former pros as they get ready for kick-off. The winner will also take part in the warm-up, be included in the Arsenal team photograph and then play a minimum of the first 20 minutes.
The winning bid will be divided among the nominated charities listed above.
To submit a bid, you must click ‘like’ on the Maidenhead Advertiser Facebook page. Then send us a private message through the page marked ‘Arsenal Auction’. We will need your name, age, address, mobile contact number and the amount bid.

I've heard Paul Davis is still as good today as he was back in the day. Still plays regular and keeps himself in good shape.

Don't get too excited chaps, I've been to these before.
Half of em don't turn up.
Watched em against Havant n Waterlooville few years ago, think they won 9-0 all the goals scored by same bloke playing number 9 for Arsenal but never herd of him.
Had a good chat with Pricey though
