Artur Boruc has begged fans to buy tickets for his farewell match next week against Celtic after it emerged that the ground could be just a tenth full.
The 42-year-old retired at the end of the season and Legia Warsaw have arranged one final match for the Polish keeper with the Scottish Premiership champions on Wednesday. However, Legia revealed that just 3,825 tickets have been sold for the 31,800-capacity ground after complaints that the ticket prices were far too high and Boruc is desperate not to play in a near-deserted stadium.
He said: "First of all, I won't make any money from the tickets, nor did I set the prices. I signed a contract with Legia to arrange this match. My only priority is to say goodbye to the fans. I left Celtic a long time ago and there is practically no one at the club left that I know.
"I know there are plenty of players over the years at Legia who are more deserving than me for this game. And I am well aware what the fans think after such a disastrous season. But I have one final dream left at Legia and that is to have a full stadium. This is more than just a match to me.
"I want to say thanks to the fans. If you are still hesitating and want one more chance of abusing me, then please come along too...you also contributed to my career and made sure I worked even harder. So I cordially invite you to my final game of football."
