Legends Day 2024 -4: FP’s H-T Centre Circle Walk-Pt.3 Nineties & Noughties Legends
CCFPA’s own LD24 programme for our FPs
Less than two hours ago we continued our coverage of our the 36 FPs who we entertained at last Saturday’s Legends Day 2024 celebrations going pitch-side to enter the playing area at half-time after watching the first 45 minutes of the game from their seats close-by. As per usual CCFPA’s Billy Bell announced each player as they walked onto the CBS hallowed turf in playing decade order to a warm welcome from fans of both sides and marched towards the centre-circle amidst lots of applause.

There is a full video of the long walk to the centre-circle (thanks to CCFPA’s Richard Morris) on our Facebook page – just click on that button to the right of this post to see it. Following on from the walk-on proceedings with photos of 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s Former Players we continue with the 1980s and 1990s ‘Stars of the Past’ as they made their way to the centre-circle for the traditional half-time ‘team photo’ when our FP guests and the 29,000 crowd acclaimed each other!
(NB Kenny Sansom started the ‘walk to the centre-circle and Richard Shaw ended the parade out of their decade order). Bussty, now CCFC’s Head of Community’ was one of the FPs who got a particularly loud cheer!
