FOOTBALL supporters can pay tribute to ex-Lincoln City manager Keith Alexander and get a first half look at FIFA World Cup™ Trophy later this week at Sincil Bank.

Lincoln's forthcoming match against Hereford United (March 12) will not only give fans the opportunity to get a glimpse of the FIFA World Cup™ Trophy, which will be visiting Sincil Bank as part of the worldwide Coca-Cola Trophy Tour, but it will also give supporters the chance to pay tribute to former Imps manager Alexander, who sadly passed away at the age of 53 last week.

To supplement the evening's programme of events, a giant screen will be installed in the corner of the Stacey West Stand and the Echo Stand and during the course of the pre-match build-up, some memorable moments from Keith's career with the Imps will be broadcast.

Turnstiles will open at 6.30pm and following the pre-match entertainment, which will start at approximately 7.00pm, including the parading of the World Cup™ Trophy by 1966 winner Martin Peters. There will also be a minute's applause for Keith will take place before the game against Hereford kicks off.

With reserved seating arrangements being in operation, supporters are advised to purchase tickets in advance of the game in order to avoid disappointment and unnecessary queuing on the night of the game.

Those in the neutral zone will also have a chance of having their photo taken with the FIFA World Cup™ Trophy with a unique numbered voucher being given out on the turnstiles at the game.
