Soap stars will clash with Oldham Asians


26/ 9/2003

Asian footballers in Oldham will be up against a celebrity football team at the town's local football club.
The event will see some of the best Asian football players from local teams who will unite to play against stars from Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Brookside at a charity event at Oldham Athletic's Boundary Park.
The celebrity dream team will also be helped out by some former Latic players.
The aim of the charity event is to raise money for Oldham Athletics - a club gripped by a financial crisis.
Said Latic's community cohesion officer, Abdul Basit: "This is a fun event to raise money for the club and at the same time will raise the profile of young Asian footballers as Latics scouts will be on the lookout for new talent.
"It's the first time we have done this and for many Asian players it might be the first and only time they are up against celebrities."
The charity match will be held on 5 October and tickets are £2 and £1 for under 12s.
For further information contact Abdul Basit on 0799 0930 577.
