Man City fans to hold charity game for ex-player Stan Bowles

The family of former Manchester City and England player Stan Bowles are hoping to raise over £1000 for charity in his name this weekend.

Bowles, 74, played for City between 1967 and 1970 before going on to have a successful career with the likes of Crewe, Carlisle, Nottingham Forest, Leyton Orient, Brentford, and most notably QPR. He got five caps for England and scored over 125 goals in over 500 appearances.

Sadly, Stan suffers from dementia and cannot remember anything of his career, or even his family, after being diagnosed in 2015. His son Carl has organised a charity match to take place this Saturday (July 8) to try and raise money in his name for the Alzheimer's Society.
