This is the reason
for the benefit Match – By Gordon Young and Brian Sheldon |
|||
|
Billy has been diagnosed with Motor
Neurone disease, which is a nervous debilitating condition which effects
the muscular and nervous system. At this time there is no known cure but
advances in medicine have discovered in some instances, survival length can
be stabilised. Billy will retire from work at end of April as a direct
consequence of his condition. Brian and myself as former team
mates contacted Billy and after discussions we agreed on a benefit match/dinner
at this stage in his illness, rather than some time in the future when
symptoms are not known. It would be used as a get together of
former players and a celebration of friendship between players and supporters
of Billy's main clubs. The Cambuslang team will be managed
by Alex Love and all players used in Billy's 4 years have been contacted with
a full list of everyone playing plus guest players published previous to the
game. Livingston Juniors (assisted by
Pumpherston Juniors, Mac's other club) will be managed by Bobby Ramsey. The Match itself will be a
Tickets will be priced at £25 for the
dinner which will get you admission to the game and all players will pay this
also. Or for the match pay £2.00 at the gate on the day. If through your exposure anyone
wishes to contact us, regarding the game or dinner, please forward details to Brian Sheldon, Kris Kinnear or Gordon Young by clicking the names. We are hoping for a big turn out from
players and fans alike which will provide us with an opportunity to present
Billy with a monetary gift which he can use at his bequest. It is not a fund raiser for Motor
Neurone unless anyone wants to contribute specifically.
