Premier League stars from the “recent past” to take part in North vs South showdown

North England FC and South England FC have announced their respective captains for the match between former Premier League players this summer.

“I am sure it will be an intensely contested game because there are bragging rights at stake and so nobody on either team is going to want to lose this one."

Meanwhile, McManaman added: "It will be great to be back sharing a dressing room with Robbie and we are both keen to ensure North England come out on top on June 1.

“To get a fixture going between the North and South of England is a great idea and I am really looking forward to being part of it."

Robbie Fowler will be a player-manager for the North, while former Tottenham and West Ham boss Harry Redknapp will be in the dugout for the South.

Organisers have said the North team will bring together “local heroes and international stars who share northern roots or have become adopted icons at northern clubs”, with the South side containing a similar mix of “homegrown talent and global stars”.
