Led Zepplin v Sunderland in testimonial

Musician and lifelong Wolves fan Robert Plant has paid £900 to play in Jody Craddock's testimonial match next year. Craddock, who called time on his playing career in the summer, saw his time with the club honoured with a fund-raising dinner at Molineux on Thursday night.
Plant, 65, best known as being the lead vocalist for Led Zeppelin, bid for the chance to turn out for his beloved team – his donation contributing towards a total figure in excess of £8,000 for Birmingham Children's Hospital, where Craddock's son Toby has been treated for leukaemia.
The former Wolves manager Mick McCarthy, assistant Terry Connor and a host of the 2008-09 promotion-winning squad were among the 280 in attendance.
Speaking at the event, McCarthy, now in charge at Ipswich, said of Craddock: "He's had a career of minimal fuss. Every manager in the country is looking for a defender who can head it and kick it – well, that's what he did. He was the nicest fella off the pitch but horrible to play against, someone who would put his heart and soul into it on the field and I loved him for it."
The Wanderers chief executive Jez Moxey added: "We could not have wished for a better ambassador or a better player for our club."
Craddock's testimonial will be between former players of Wolves and Sunderland and will take place in May 2014.

Never thought I'd see my favourite club play one of my favourite bands!!

 

Hope Craddock gets a great turnout. He was always one of my favourite players

 

I'll be there, was one of my favourites as well mate. Nowt clever or fancy, just done the basics really well.

 

Was reading somewhere its going to be a sunderland XI including, quinn, phillips, johnstone etc in may

 

Well summed up.

 

Me anarl, well said mate.

 

Craddock was a great servant to both Sunderland and Wolves, and this is a game that I will attend if I can..

 

Hope he gets a good turn out mate, been a fantastic servant to Wolves, Sunderland and indeed football in general, should be more like him instead of some of these cheating twats who dive all over the place.

 

Another in the same mould was Shaun Elliot, always thought he would have amounted to something better than us like.

 

Hope I can make it. Love Jody me.

 

Has he not said though, that he may not take part?

He's ****ing ancient, but guess any heavy metal fans may like him..
