Irish fans of Glasgow Celtic who thought they'd never get the chance to see Henrik Larsson play in the flesh may think again - he's coming to Bray next month.
Larsson, along with a number of Celtic legends including Stiliyan Petrov, will play a charity match against an 1888Fitness XI in aid of Ger Doolin.
Doolin is a close friend of Bray's first team coach Graham Kelly, and was the victim of an unprovoked attack last July which left him in a coma, with a fractured skull and three bleeeds on the brain.
The 40-year-old had been on a stag in the Co. Leitrim town of Carrick-on-Shannon on 17 July when the attack occurred.
As well as Larsson - Celtic's third top goalscorer of all time behind Bobby Lennox and Jimmy McGrory - former stars Tom Boyd, Alan Stubbs and Bulgarian midfielder Petrov will all take part at the Carlisle Grounds on 29 April.
According to the club's Facebook page, 'tickets priced only €5 are available from the Carlisle Grounds from Monday to Thursday from 10am to 3pm and also in the club shop at all home games.'
