Globe Arena to host Neil Marshall fundraiser.
THE Globe Arena is hosting a special football forum night to raise money for the Neil Marshall Memorial Fund in February.
Former Lancaster City captain Neil passed away at home on November 16 at the age of just 31 after a battle with cancer.
Family and friends have set up a Memorial Fund in a bid to support his wife Kim and children Max, five, and three-year-old Daisy in the coming years.
Ex-Manchester City, Blackpool, QPR and West Ham star Trevor Sinclair in among the guest panel. Sinclair was at the Giant Axe club under former manager Darren Peacock during the 2014/15 season.
The ex-England international will be joined by former Blackpool and Preston North End striker Brett Ormerod and ex-Bury, Burnley and Sheffield United midfielder Jamie Hoyland at the Q&A event, which is being held at the Globe Arena in Morecambe on Friday February 3 from 7.30pm.
