The show is in aid of the Irish Professional Footballers Benevolent Association (IPFBA), the organisation established last year by ex-players to offer assistance to former professionals facing health and financial challenges.

The trio’s generosity and sincere support of their fellow former players through the IPFBA (which Johnny and Niall are Patrons of) is greatly appreciated by our committee and growing membership.

Dubliner Niall – who scored 21 goals for Ireland in 92 senior appearances between 1986 and 2002 – partners his fellow ex-international legends in a star-studded line-up. He replaces Eamon Dunphy who will no longer be participating in the event.

“I was only too happy to commit myself to this night of what promises to be great craic and full of football tales,” the former Arsenal, Manchester City and Sunderland striker said.

“The establishment of the Irish Professional Footballers Benevolent Association is long overdue and it’s great that the generation of players who created the game that it is today will now have a most valuable financial resource to call upon if needed.”

IPFBA chairman Harry McCue welcomed Niall to the team for the show that will raise much-needed funds for the organisation.

“Niall didn’t hesitate for a moment to agree to joining John and Liam which says everything about his commitment to Irish footballers’ welfare,” stated Harry.

“It’s going to be a fantastic evening and I urge all football supporters to come along and help those who previously played the game and gave us so much joy but who require assistance.”

Don’t miss this terrific opportunity to hear these celebrated internationals in live conversation at Dublin’s premier venue. It promises to be a captivating evening of opinions, stories, laughs, and nostalgia!
