ATHERTON Collieries FC are holding a charity match this Sunday in memory of club stalwart Ernie Ackers who passed away recently.
Ernie was a well known character in local circles and the club has organised in his honour a game between an Atherton Collieries Past and Present versus Bolton Wanderers Veterans.
Bolton have promised to send a strong side for the match, with hopefully, ex-stars like John McGinlay and present assistant manager Phil Brown.
All proceeds will go to Christie Hospital. Admission to Alder House will be £1 on the day, kick off 2pm. For further information contact the club on 01942879209 or 07929374641.
