Pudil told swfc.co.uk: “I would like to thank Sheffield Wednesday and the Community Programme for hosting these events.

“We hope many people will come along and support the legends and help raise lots of money for charities in both countries.”

The match will take place at Hillsborough on May 14, with tickets priced at £6 for adults and £3 for concessions.

The club will also host ‘An Evening with the Legends’ event the evening before in the 1867 Lounge and will include a Q&A with the players. Tickets for that event are priced at £20.
