JUSSI Jaaskelainen, Ricardo Gardner and Stelios are among the latest set of names confirmed for Gethin Jones’ MND appeal.

Sam Allardyce will lead a Wanderers All Star side against Ian Evatt’s current first team squad at the UniBol on Sunday, November 14 (KO 1pm).

The match is taking place to raise funds for Gethin's mum, Karen, who is suffering from Motor Neurone Disease.

Henrik Pedersen, Gudni Bergsson, Alan Thompson and David Lee have also been confirmed for the game, with more names to follow.

“It looks like it’s going to be a fantastic turn-out of Wanderers’ legends and I’m really grateful for the effort Kevin (Davies) and John (McGinlay) and everyone has put in so far,” Jones told the club’s website.

“I’m sure the fans will love seeing some of those great players back out on the pitch and Sam Allardyce in the dug-out.

“As a family, we are over-whelmed at the response of the supporters who have bought tickets so far and thank them for their support.

“It’s going to be a special day which hopefully everyone will enjoy – on and off the pitch.”

Tickets for the game are available to buy on the club website and are priced at £10 for adults and £5 for over-65s and under-18s.

The club is also hosting a black-tie charity dinner at the Lion of Vienna suite from 7pm on Saturday, November 13.
