SOCCER-mad Leigh MP Andy Burnham, who has a season ticket at Everton, has persuaded the Toffeemen to play a pre-season friendly this summer with Leigh RMI.
The Hilton Park outfit will take on the Premiership side, which features England's whizzkid Wayne Rooney on July 26.
Mr Burnham said: "I would like to thank Everton Football Club for agreeing to come to the town and supporting Leigh RMI. It promises to be a great day and I urge people to come down and give RMI their support."
