Long-serving goalkeeper Paul Burgess is to be honoured with a testimonial.  "Burge" is an Ashford legend, having joined the club in 1990 and having played an integral part of the club's journey from the Combined Counties League to the Ryman League Premier Division.  The stopper also happens to be a lifelong Tottenham Hotspur fan, which is why a match with the Spurs Legends seemed an appropriate event to honour him!

The match will take place on Sunday 27th September at Short Lane Stadium, with a 2.00pm kick-off.  Further details will be announced in due course.

The Spurs Legends side will potentially include any of the following: Mark Falcao, Tony Galvin, Les Boughey, Perry Suckling, Andy Edmonds, Mark Stimson, Mark Robson, Steve Smart, Richard Cooke, Trevor Wilkinson, Tim O’Shea and Danny Hill, Ralph Coates, John Pratt, Dennis Bond, Garry Brooke, Micky Hazard and Steve Sedgley.

In addition to this match, we hope to stage other events to commemorate Paul's two decades at the club, but no further details will be announced until these are confirmed.

Ironically, we spoke to Paul about his decision to continue playing before confirmation of the match came through!  (We promise that he does know about the game though!)  The interview is available via this link or played as a streaming MP3 file using the built-in player, below.
