Trafford friendly and Simon Carden farewell

FC United play Trafford FC in the last pre-season friendly of the summer this evening.

The evening will double up as a farewell to ex-FC United player Simon Carden with a presentation after the game. Simon currently holds the title for most appearances at the club with 243 and he scored 67 goals in that time. We have never had the chance to pay tribute to his commitment to FC United unlike many other players, so this evening will allow us to put that right.

Manager Karl Marginson said: “In our first few seasons Simon was an important and influential player. We want to show our appreciation for what he did for the club at the start and say thank you."
