Age UK set to benefit from ‘The Return of the Entertainers’ Walking Football Match

Return of the Entertainers

Football fans are in for a treat this weekend as some of Newcastle United’s former stars reunite for a special charity match.

The event, designed to raise funds for Age UK North Tyneside, will see the legendary Newcastle Entertainers swap their usual fast-paced style for a more sedate walking football game at Gateshead Leisure Centre.

Former Newcastle ace Peter Beardsley will lead a squad including Lee Clark, Steve Howey, Paul Robinson, Ruel Fox, Darren Peacock, and Kevin Scott.

They will be facing a local media team captained by former United fullback John Anderson.
