Three more former Coventry City players in Dave Bennett, Micky Gynn and David Phillips, are the latest players to back the match in support of Help for Heroes on Sunday.
They will join the Legends squad to take on the British Defence Medical Services team take at the Ricoh Arena.
Phillips, who made over 600 appearances across a 20-year career, said: “My family has a military background – my father was in the RAF and my brother was in the Royal Navy. These are the sort of events that are very close to me. When you hear about people going off to war it just reminds me where I’ve come from as I have travelled around different RAF bases. I was born on a base in Wegberg in Germany, so I’m a British Forces boy so to speak.
“The military side of my family goes back some time and it will be an honour to come out and play. I have done a lot of charity work myself over the years and I have played in a lot of charity matches, but to be actively involved in something like this is something that I am very keen on.
“You hear of the stories that come through from the people who have suffered injuries - they have psychological problems from the things that have happened to them and they need counselling. To see and hear about these things that they go and do under immense pressure and some of the stuff they do is unbelievable.
“You get people like myself whinging about certain things and these people go off to war, they lose an arm or a leg, but they don’t whinge, they get on with their lives, and they are an absolute credit to our nation.”
Gynn, who played nearly 250 times for Coventry City across a 10-year spell with the club, said: “Servicemen and women have been out there on the battlefield and they have suffered injuries, they have lost limbs, and in some cases they have lost their lives and Help for Heroes is a great cause that benefits them and their families.
“You have got people putting their lives on the line and anything you can do to help these people you have got to do it. It’s as simple as that. Hopefully there will be a few people turn up and support the game.
“I’m a postman now - I do an ordinary job with ordinary people. I’m well aware of what the real world is like.
It’s important to help charities and it will be a pleasure to get together with some of my old team-mates.
“It’s a good cause all round. It gets everyone together and if we can raise a bit of money for these great people then it’s got to be good.”
Tickets for the match can be purchased in advance for just £10 for adults and £5 for under 16s, with further discounts available for family and student tickets.
