Gerry Hickey Charity Game


Now I have your attention!!!!

As you will have seen on here and the clubs media streams, our pal and fellow toilet gang member Gerry Hickey recently passed away. In his memory a few of us have been discussing holding a charity football game in his honour and I wonder if anybody fancied getting together a Solihull Moors fans team together to take part?

The opposition would be a crack squad of overweight, geriatric blokes from his usual haunt, The Redhouse.

I can get the 3G pitch at the Moors on a Saturday between 6-8 and then use of one of the bars after. Thinking of asking each player for a £10 donation (I know, paying to do exercise😬😬) which will go to a charity of Gerry’s families choice. Even if you can’t play even coming down to support would be grand. Ideally looking for 16 players.

I can confirm I will make a cameo in goal (if you know, you know) and a few others at the club have said they’ll play. Even if you didn’t know Gez but fancy it then all are welcome, would be good to see people after the last 18mths.

I’m looking at June/July when, hopefully, restrictions will have been lifted.

Any feedback welcome....

It has been a long time since I last kicked a ball, let alone in anger. In fact all my most recent competitive appearances came as a goalkeeper eight years ago. But sure, in as a full back, defensive midfielder, or referee 👍

Good idea this. I'll definitely come down and watch. Don't think I'd be able to play though. I'm so unfit at the minute I wouldn't last 2 minutes on the pitch.

Wish you the best of luck in setting this up.

I Will still kindly donate even if I'm not playing

Don’t worry about fitness levels boys, I think a strict rolling subs policy will be adhered to, we have a few people signed up:

Griff
Statto (you said yes and I have proof)
Andy Walker
Wilson
Joel
Fildes

There’s even a rumour our media officer Luke ‘fox in the box’ Turner will make an appearance

Due to a health problem I have unfortunately I am not able to play but more than happy to help officiate the fixture as I can wander around a little slower than playing would be.

Just been on the blower to my brother's agent. He reckons he can get him down there and waive the usual appearance fee.

He has to play in a holding role though, as he exploded his hamstring when he was 14 and hasn't walked since.

I’m more than happy to join in so long as I can just stand at left back and ping 60 yard balls forward with the pinpoint precision of a fat Nicky Eaden.

If we ever decide to do a charity American football game though I’ll consider fully coming out of retirement for it 😂

Put me down as a keeper.

I'm assuming there'll be paramedics and a defibrillator on site.

Unfortunately, as my legendary right knee has taken a turn for the worse in recent months, I will be unable to don the kit and partake in the match.

Griff, I will, of course, be available to do anything that is required to facilitate the success of this worthy venture...short of massaging Joel or his dead cat hat; I'll get Alex to do that!

Seriously, Griff, just let me know what you want me to do.
 

Pete.

PS. I was not taken in by the 'Free Beer on Me...' headline, as the monika 'Griff79' was attributed to it emoticon
