Fans team relishing Spanish inquisition
The squad has now been confirmed for Saturday’s fans match with Spain which will be in remembrance of Robin Chatterjee.
As we reported on the englandfans website last month, the tragic news of Robin’s death was met with great sadness by the squad, and as a team they were determined to show their respect for a fellow englandfans member, therefore the decision was made that the game will now be played for The Robin Chatterjee Memorial Trophy.
A lot of interest has been generated within the membership and the opposition ranks in the build-up to the game, and a large crowd is expected to be at Wealdstone FC’s St. George’s Stadium come the 10:30am kick-off to cheer the Three Lions on. A large away crowd is also expected, so the team will really be counting on fellow members support.
