Stars Turn Out For G-Man Testimonial
Last updated : 08 November 2005 By Brian Cartlidge
Ex-players Geoff Horsfield, Paul Furlong, Paul Devlin, Dele Adebola, Jon McCarthy, Nicky Forster, Steve Robinson, Jeff Kenna, Tommy Mooney, Jerry Gill, Danny Sonner, Nicky Eaden, Gary Rowett, Kevin Poole, Jon Bass, Paul Tait, Paul Peschisolido, Gary Ablett and Michael Johnson have all agreed to play in the former full-backs testimonial.
Former Blues boss Trevor Francis has also agreed to play some part and Barry Fry, who signed Grainger for Blues from Brentford, has been booked to manage the guests side that will take on the current Blues side.
Grainger was forced to retire from the game at the end of last year after long term knee injuries.
His final game for the club came in a 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United on 10th April 2004 when he scored with a trademark free-kick.
He made more than 250 appearances for Blues during his eight year stay at St Andrew's and was an integral part of the Blues squad that gained promotion back to the top flight in 2002.
Kick-off at St Andrew's on Wednesday night is at 7.45pm.
