OFFICIAL: Mikel and Ramires added to Chelsea Legends roster against Bayern
Mikel and Ramires, integral to Blues’ maiden conquest of Europe’s biggest prize, will join fellow 2012 heroes John Terry, Florent Malouda, Salomon Kalou and Michael Essien, as well as manager Roberto Di Matteo, for the game in honour of Gianluca Vialli, the Italian legend who died in January.
Mikel was arguably the best player on the night in Munich, and who can forget Ramires’s iconic chip in the Nou Camp that set Chelsea on their way to a remarkable semi-final comeback.
Chelsea also announce six other former Blues who will be featuring on 9 September. They are Hilario, Frank Sinclair, Pierluigi Casiraghi, Jon Harley, Sam Dalla Bona and Danny Granville.
Other former players confirmed to be taking part include Gianfranco Zola, Claude Makelele, Carlo Cudicini, Eidur Gudjohnsen and Frank Leboeuf. It promises to be a very special evening indeed.
All proceeds from the game, which kicks off at 7.15pm, will be split between The Chelsea Foundation and The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, which supports the work of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, where Vialli was treated.
