A fantastic few days in Poland as GamePlan Solutions contracted England legend Peter Shilton to manage the England Legends team for a special Poland v England Legends match at the iconic Stadion Śląski in Chorzów.
The match formed part of the stadium’s 70th anniversary celebrations, marking seven decades since the famous venue first opened in 1956.
There was also plenty of history behind the fixture, with the game recreating the famous Poland v England rivalry at the stadium — particularly the legendary 1973 World Cup qualifier, when Poland famously beat England 2–0 in what became known as the “Witches’ Cauldron”.
Peter led an impressive England Legends side featuring the likes of John Terry, Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Tony Adams and Emile Heskey, while Polish legends included Zbigniew Boniek, Łukasz Piszczek and Artur Boruc.
The occasion ended with another memorable result, as Poland’s legends ran out 4–2 winners — making for a fittingly dramatic anniversary celebration.
