Steve Kember testimonial planned

Last updated : 10 February 2004 By Nik Taylor

A team full of Palace superstars has been lined up for a testimonial match for former boss Steve Kember.

The likes of Attilio Lombardo, Ian Wright, Mark Bright and Gareth Southgate are all believed to have agreed to play in the benefit game.

And while those four alone would surely fill Selhurst Park twice over, there are likely to be many more big names featuring too. Ashley Cole, Matt Jansen and Nigel Martyn are also rumoured to be making appearances.

The main match will see the former players line up against the current Palace side. Immediately before that, a 15 minute match between Palace and Chelsea old-boys is planned.

The testimonial is yet to be officially announced, but has been pencilled in to take place on the evening of Tuesday May 11th.
