Starting in 2012, The Big Match began as 30 local people hiring Reading's Madejski Stadium for a kickabout to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity & Action for Children. Fast forward seven years, taking in grounds including Millwall's 'The Den' and raising over £360,000 along the way, the next stop is...
Nicknamed 'Le God' by the adoring Southampton fans, Matt Le Tissier is one of a kind when it comes to professional footballers, choosing to spend his entire career at one club.
A creative attacking midfielder, known for a collection of stunning goals, Le Tissier won 8 caps for his country and was the first player to score 100 goals in the Premier League.
We are delighted to have him on board!
Come and get up close and personal with the Premier League Trophy at this year's event. Who knows.... it might even have red and white ribbons attached.
This group of heroes took part in a charity match to help raise money for The Big Match cause, over £1500 raised. 😘⚽️⚽️⚽️ It was cold, the pitch was difficult, it’s Christmas and they took time out away from their families to help others. Yes they had fun and played a sport they love - no one said charity had to be boring - but it was at a time of year when money can be tight and time is precious. They all paid to play. We can’t thank them enough.
Special thanks must go to the team at Reading City FC for providing the venue and support and to our sponsors.
