    It's like something from a Rogin thread

    From The Daily Star via 40%:

    Gazza, 41, is being lined up to appear in a team made up entirely of former Cup winners. He will join a host of former aces in a non-league side which will be entered for the game’s most coveted trophy.

    A source said: “No-one will ever have seen the like of this. A team of former winners will run onto the pitch to play a team of no-hopers who won’t know what’s hit them.

    “If Gazza’s fit he’s likely to be involved.”

    The idea is the legends will sit out the club’s league games, taking to the pitch only in the FA Cup first preliminary round.

    The men planning the coup are talking to several clubs – including Sheffield FC, the world’s oldest side – to allow them to take over their team for cup games.

    If Gazza’s side wins its opening match, the all-stars would continue to appear through the qualifying rounds, aiming to make the first round next November.

    Sources compared the idea to the Carlsberg “Probably the best pub team in the world” advert, where ex-England boss Sir Bobby Robson, 75, manages a team including World Cup winners Sir Bobby Charlton, 70, and brother Jack, 73.

    The organisers of the Legends football series, Toast Events, are arranging players for the Cup run, which they hope will raise thousands for charity.

    Among those in the frame to appear are Arsenal’s Ray Parlour, 35, Manchester United’s Lee Sharpe, 37, and Bryan Robson, 51, and ex-Wimbledon keeper Dave Beasant, 49.

    Chelsea duo Graeme Le Saux, 40, and Roberto di Matteo, 38 – who scored the fastest-ever Cup Final goal – are also set to star.

    Paul Reaney, of Toast Events, said he could not think of any reason the FA could block his plans.

    “What rule will they put into place – that over-35s cannot enter the FA Cup?

    “It will be a serious venture. We wouldn’t want to be a laughing stock.”

    The games involving the stars are likely to draw huge crowds, and would raise cash for charities such as the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK.

    Gazza, who won the Cup with Spurs in 1991, was last involved in competitive football was a spell as coach of Kettering in the 2005.
    Fucking stop fucking up football, you mentals.

    This is almost as stupid as Rafa's "let's enter our reserve teams into the league" idea.

    Obviously he didn't figure on his reserves being, well, you know. Rubbish*

    *Generalising for comic effect. Although there is some truth in it.

        I don't see how this idea can fail when it's creators Toast Events have previously been involved with such unqualified successes as ;

        The Legends & Proms on the Pitch

        Toast produced this unique music event over two nights. Friday June 24th featured ABC, Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley and Go West in a Legends on the Pitch spectacular.

        Saturday June 25ths Proms on the Pitch event saw a 69-piece English National Orchestra performing favourites by Tchaikovsky and Rossini as well as film themes from Star Wars and ET. Playing to a fervent Weymouth audience, the musicians were subsequently accompanied by Aled Jones, Myleene Klass and male vocal quartet G4.
        We all remember it, don't we? I for one was really worried that I may have been injured in the crush at the front of the stage;

            You lot are far too cynical. How are we ever going to have progress in our society when the likes of you pooh-pooh every dream we have?

            SHAME ON YOU!!!

                Leave em alone. They're thinking outside the box, pushing the envelope and blue sky thinking all in one go.

                  I think you'll find that central to their offer was a model developed specifically for today's snacking media consumption habits and the growth and complexity of new channels, taking core elements from traditional brand-insight gathering, customer ownership planning and data services, and combining those with a belief in the power of ideas, a focus on nimbleness and the development of better emotional bonds through a storytelling approach, thereby advocating the brand in the dialogue between brand and customer, using the right channels for the right conversation.
