Celtic v Manchester United Legends Game



A fun night at Parkhead where we witnessed John Kennedy’s Testimonial football match.

The game between Celtic and Manchester United Legends ended 5-2 in Celtic’s favour with the hero Henrik Larsson scoring a hat-trick for the Bhoys.

Gerard Butler – our own Hollywood star - several comedians, and a few legendary players helped raise £300,000 for the famine victims of East Africa.

The game - arranged as a tribute to former Celtic defender John Kennedy who had to retire because of injury was watched by 55,000 strong crowd.

In a very generous gesture John Kennedy gifted his proceeds from the game to Oxfam's East Africa charity appeal.
