As you will already know this game takes place on the 24th September 3:00 KO. What you may not of seen yet is the announced line up of 'some' of the players, it's pretty much a who's who of more recent Albion legends. Shows the respect these two players are held in, to be able put players like this on the pitch.
Jonas Olsson
Roman Bednar
Peter Odemwingie
Billie Jones
Marc-Antoine Fortune
Ishmael Miller
Craig Gardner
Simon Cox
Steven Reid
Paul Robinson
Gareth Barry
Robert Koren
Wes Hoolahan
Goran Popov
Paul Scharner
Nicky Shorey
Filipe Teixeira
Leon Barnett
Zolton Gera
Graham Dorrans
More to be announced
Have to travel back for this one, perhaps we should re-sign a few, they will have their boots with them.

Certainly not many major names from 2008-2012 missing from that list. Seems like no goalies at the minute, but Fozzy's kicking his heels and Dean Kiely might be up for it too? Be nice to see a few others added like Kevin Phillips, Youssouf Mulumbu (think he's playing in Africa unfortunately), Gareth McAuley, Jonno Greening, Jerome Thomas, Gonzalo Jara... and Saido to have a half-time boxing match with Mozza

True legends of modern football, how many players show such loyalty to a club in these modern times, they also did not just hang around for the pay cheque, they contributed to the club, they played with grace and style, they gave their all to our club and to us fans. Not just great players but great people. Not many players leave such a huge hand print on a club and earn and deserve such love from and show for a clubs fanbase.
Will always be great legends the likes of which will probably never come again in this era of the "what's in it for me".
Thanks for the memories and the joy.
Brunty, Mozza ... Love you 4eva. Albion til we die.

Will be driving down from Scotland for this: these two guys have provided so many special moments for us, it’s the least I could do.
When you look at the list of players involved and compare it to the current squad…………….
