James Milner looking forward to ‘A Match For Cancer’ charity event
JAMES Milner’s experience of Celtic and Paradise has been formed by just three, frenetic hours on the pitch. But it has been framed by the almost incessant chirping of a teammate.
The Liverpool midfielder, will bring a team to Celtic Park on September 8 for ‘A Match for Cancer’, sponsored by Dafabet (kick-off 2pm). The game will bring together the forces of The Stiliyan Petrov Foundation, The James Milner Foundation and Celtic FC Foundation.
And Milner is relishing the roars from a packed crowd. He has already heard the history from a certain Celtic fan.
“I have played twice at Celtic Park,” he said. “Once in a pre-season match when I was at Newcastle and once for England. But I feel I know Celtic well as Robbo never stops going on about them.”
He is, of course, referring to his team-mate, Andrew Robertson, who was once part of the Celtic Academy and who remains a massive Celtic fan.
