Re: Steve Harper testimonial
STEVE Harper will celebrate his 20 years as a Newcastle player when a team of former Magpies superstars meets an AC Milan Legends side.
Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Rob Lee and Faustino Asprilla will pull on the black and white stripes once again for a charity game at St James’s Park on Wednesday, September 11.
They will be in good company too with the AC Milan Glorie squad featuring Franco Baresi, Palo Maldini, Alessandro Costacurta and Andriy Shevchenko.
All the proceeds from the event will be divided between three charities close to the 38-year-old Hull keeper’s heart – the Great North Children’s Hospital, the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and the Newcastle United Foundation.
Harper, who made his 199th and final appearance for Newcastle against Arsenal on the final day of last season, said: “This match is a massive honour for me.
“I had a fantastic send-off against Arsenal at the end of last season, so this is really my opportunity to say thank you to a region which has given me so much support, and to use my time to raise as much money as possible for three incredible causes.
“To have some of the best players to have ever worn the black and white shirt back at St James’s Park alongside some of the greatest names from Milan is fantastic, and with every penny raised going to three important north-east charities, I hope as many people as possible can come along and enjoy it.
“I’m sure it will be a special night.”
Baresi, who will captain the Milan side said: “I would like to firstly congratulate Mr Steve Harper on his 20 years with Newcastle United.
“I was very happy to hear of the possibility of AC Milan Glorie travelling and playing against a Newcastle United legends team at such a famous stadium.
“I know the passion of Newcastle fans, and I know of the club’s history, and the love of football in the city, so I congratulate Steve, and wish the fans and Newcastle United a magnificent occasion.”

Ashley tells you it's raining. Do you look out the window?
Re: Steve Harper testimonial
This is going to be class. Can't wait to see Maldini play live. Fitting tribute for Harper as well, hopefully our fans won't let the charities and Harper down and sell the game out.
Re: Steve Harper testimonial
Is it sold out yet?
