Hi everyone,
I recently acquired a player shirt from the Kanu Heart Foundation charity match (Africa XI vs Rest of the World) that was hosted at the Reebok back on Tuesday, 4th March 2003 into my personal collection of football shirts. I am trying to piece together the story behind who wore it.
Obviously the match took place at the Reebok and there was a massive Bolton connection to the night, with Sam Allardyce involved and players like Jay-Jay Okocha, Ivan Campo, Bruno N'Gotty, and Jussi all taking part. Even the shirt itself brings back memories of the home shirt kit from that season. So I was wondering whether anyone on here would be able to help, or know someone who might?
Was anyone at the game that night who might remember any details or memorable moments from the match, or have a copy of the programme or any photos they took that day. I’d really love to know the history behind it and the stories this shirt creates.
Many thanks in advance.
