Horsham v Bognor- TODAY!

Today is the day that Sussex football legend Gary Charman pulls on his boots for the last time, as his two most prominent former sides, Horsham and Bognor Regis Town, get together to honour his fabulous contribution to our game. Gary made his Hornets debut in 1998, and contrary to popular belief he wasn't wearing a zorro mask at the time, that came later!

Legends from both clubs will be putting on yellow, green and white in his honour. The squads so far announced look like this:

But we know that there are more names to come- for example, former Burges Hill Town legend Pat Harding was added yesterday.

There will be an auction and a raffle, a special souvenir programme (pictured), and the football kicks off at 3PM. Tickets are- Adults £11, Concessions £6, U16s £2- and can be paid for at the gate, or purchased in advance, here.

Many congratulation Gary- and enormous thanks for all the joy you've brought to those watching our league.
