A former Dale manager and three ex-players will be joining Keith Hill and Dave Flitcroft at the Dale Supporters Trust 5-a-side tournament this Sunday (1 November).

Gareth Griffiths, Neil Edwards, Steve Parkin and Chris Beech are available for auction and could be joining your team on the day.

If you have entered your team into the competition you can start bidding for the former legends, as well as the current management duo Keith Hill and Dave Flitcroft. The highest bids will go into a hat and the legends will be drawn out on the day to see which of them will be joining your team.

Money raised at the auction and from team's entry fees will be split between the Bowlee training ground project and Factor 50, the skin cancer charity which was supported by former Rochdale midfielder Ernie Cooksey.

The event will be held at the Soccer Factory on Edinburgh Way, near Tesco, on Sunday 1 November, starting at 3pm.

Entry costs £30 per squad of eight players maximum.

To enter your team send your team's name, your secretary or manager's name and a contact telephone number to Keith Hicks at the Community Office at Rochdale AFC, Sandy Lane, Rochdale, OL11 5DR, along with a £10 deposit for your team. Please make cheques payable to 'Rochdale Supporters Trust'.

Once your team has entered the tournament you can start bidding to have a legend on your side. Email your team name and your bid, minimum £40, to kfinan@daletrust.org.uk, to be in with a chance of winning. The closing date for bids is Thursday 29 October at 6pm. We will inform you before the day of the tournament if your bid has been successful. Please note that the remainder of your team's entry fee plus your successful bid money must be paid on the day of the tournament, before kick off.

There will be trophies and medals for both the winners of the tournament and the runners-up.
