In August 2011 there was a charity game in which Celtic legends took on Manchester United legends. This blog is going to take a look back to the game that saw the likes of Gerard Butler taking part.
It was a night to remember for everyone who attended! There where so many celebrities and football legends it was hard to take in who was all there.
Before the game I had the pleasure of serving Gerard Butler who I must say is one of the nicest most genuine people you could meet. He was talking away to everyone. He even made a wee joke to me about not giving him too much food as he's trying to keep the weight off.
And as if that wasn't good enough I turned round to find Henrik Larsson and Martin O'Neill on the table next to him. I was in complete shock I couldn't help but staring. They must of thought who is that crazy waitress!
There was a never-ending list of amazing people there from singers such as Tinchy Stryder to actor Ricky Whittle.
The game was so exciting and ended with Celtic winning 5-2 thanks to a typical Larsson hatrick and two goals from the legendary Bobby Petta. Our own manager Neil Lennon even went on to play with Martin O'Neill returning to manger for the game.
Overall the game managed to raise £300,000 for the Oxfam East Africa Famine Appeal. The night was a great success and everyone came back in for a wee party. So I can now say I have partied with the likes of Gerard Butler and Henrik Larsson.
Here's a wee interview with Gerard Butler during the game
