Andy Culliford Benefit Game

AFC Bournemouth will play a benefit game for local non league player and fireman Andy Culliford.

34 year old Culliford, who has played for Poole Town, Bournemouth Poppies, Brockenhurst and Wimborne Town has contracted a form of motor neurone disease which is a muscle related neural disease which has no known cure.

On Thursday 27th September at 7.30pm an AFC Bournemouth side will play a combined Poole and Wimborne side which could also be managed by Cherries 'advisor' Harry Redknapp, if he is available on the day.

The match is pay on the gate, with £5 for adults and £1 for under 16's.

Wimborne will also be holding raffle draw on the night with one of the prizes (subject to insurance) the chance to drive one of AFC Bournemouth chairman Eddie Mitchell's luxury cars.

Wimborne's Brian McIntyre told wimbornetownfc.co.uk...

"...it has take time for Andy to accept he needs help from other parties to help him fight this disease as he deserves the chance of every treatment available. A very expensive drug has just come on the market which MAY help pause the disease and improve his present condition until the medical profession can go a step further and a cure for this illness...'

'...Both clubs are asking their loyal supporters to join the AFC Bournemouth fans to support this cause to help Andy.
