Martin, Nick, the Goldsbroughs and me were down on the banks of the river Sincil yesterday afternoon for a benefit match for the family of Keith Alexander.
An all-star team managed (and featuring) Paul Ince took on a team of players who had played for KA. As well as Ince, Sir Les and Harry, we had Paul Merson, Dion Dublin, Lee Sharpe, Brian Deane, Rufus Brevette, Paul Davis, Nigel Jemson and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. The KA XI had Yeo, Mazza, Garlic Mayo, McCombe, Bimmo, Scrappy Doo, McAuley, Biggedy Morgan and Schoey - Simmo was the manager and also made a guest appearance (I think he had a ball hidden up his shirt).
There were fans there from many of Keith's clubs - I saw Macclesfield, Mansfield, Barnet, Bury and Peterborough shirts and there may have been others. It was an afternoon about fun as well as football and a fitting tribute to one of Lincoln's greatest managers.
