England Legends manager Peter Reid has announced his 36-man provisional squad of players that will take on Scotland in The Alan Ball Memorial Cup at St Mary's on May 15.
The international football match, which kicks off at 7.45pm and is being played live on ITV4, is part of three-match summer festival of football, which will also see the England Legends take on Ireland on Thursday, July 3, and Germany on Thursday, August 7.
The England Legends provisional list, which includes seven former first team Saints and all players currently under consideration by Reid for the match against Scotland, will be whittled down to a final 18-man squad in the build-up to the live international football match.
Upon announcing his provisional England Legends list, Reid said: "Over the course of the next week to ten days, I will be assessing the fitness of the England Legends and making some harsh decisions on who is in and who is out.
"There are going to be some disappointed players, but if you can't make those tough calls, there is no point in being a football manager. I will be looking to get my final squad in place as soon as possible."
Tickets for England v Scotland - The Alan Ball Memorial Cup - are available from St Mary's box office on 0800 2800 050 or by visiting www.saintsfc.co.uk.

I admired his talent, and feel that if he had been more ambitious, he would certainly have been capped many times. He came to Fratton Park for Alan Knight's testimonial match, and took quite a bit of stick, for some reason that I have yet to fathom out!!!!!! He, of course, scored a peach of a goal, at the Fratton End, and peeled off his shirt to reveal one with red and white stripes!! There was a deathly hush before the uproar, then laughter and a cheer! If he had moved to another club, he would have got his caps!sailor sam wrote:I think you will find Skate Sam, Le Tiss was capped 8 times by England. And not enough times in many peoples minds.

Do you think unless YOU remember it, it didn't happen? You come on here posting how many times a day, waffling on about stats of our club. Whats it to you? What makes you think you're the be all and end all? Don't get involved with things that don't you understand. Carry on droaning on about Portsmouth. It appears that its you sam that doesn't know a great deal about football. And don't give me any of that freedom of speech rubbbish either, I can see your post now "I am merely expressing an opinion........" Well you weren't, you were attempting to state facts but got it drastically wrong.
