Armstrong to attend Sheff Utd game
Posted on: Tue 19 Apr 2011
Both Reading FC and Sheffield United will pay tribute to Chris Armstrong when the teams play each other at Madejski Stadium on Easter Monday, 25th April, kick off 3pm.
Armstrong retired from professional football last month, having been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in December 2009, and this game represents a fitting opportunity for supporters on all four sides of the ground to show their appreciation for the 28-year old; he became a fans' favourite for both clubs with his fantastic commitment to the cause and quality on the pitch.
Chris will be invited to lead both teams out onto the pitch just before kick off, where he will receive a round of applause from both sets of fans, and representatives from each club will present him with framed autographed shirts.
A collection will take place by the Berkshire MS Therapy Centre on the day of the game.
Best of luck to Chris, he did well for us, always gave his all.
several times he was written off after injury but he always fought back, it was only kevin t**twells`s short sighted policy of bringing shite to the lane that scuppered Chris`s chances with the Blades. he deserved better.
a good lad .
