Special guest: Colin Gardner
FORMER Forest Green chairman Colin Gardner will be a special guest at the Slimbridge Youth Football Club tournament in August.
Gardner, who was forced to stand down at Rovers last month as he is currently suffering from a brain tumour, has accepted a request from the club to present players with medals on Sunday, August 3.
Slimbridge under-10s manager Terry Willcox said: “I am proud he accepted our invitation and I know Colin will have a brilliant day. He is a very special guest of ours.”
The tournament is sold out and the club are expecting a record attendance.
