IT was a very special day for former Crediton Youth Football Club goalkeeper Jordon Jones, when he was one of the four lucky winners to be a Super Sub for the Manchester United Legends team in the charity game against a Hinkley Point C Select side.

The game raised more than £10,000 for MIND Somerset and took place at Bridgwater Town FC’s Fairfax Park ground. It attracted a crowd of more than 900 spectators.

The legends side included former first team players Wes Brown, Keith Gillespie, Frank Stapleton and guest player Lee Hendrie.

The Hinkley Point C side was made up from workers and contractors from the site. The squad of 17 was chosen from more than 100 players, who had attended the first trials, with many of whom having played a high level of amateur football.

The crowd witnessed an exciting game which finished 2-2 with the legends winning on penalties.

Hinkley went in 1-0 up at half-time, but a missed penalty was to cost them. Danny Webber equalised for the legends early in the second half.

With 30 minutes to go Jordon and the three other super subs came on for the legends. Hinkley went 2-1 up following a fine move and finish.

Shortly after that two superb saves from Jordon, wearing his Crediton Youth ‘keeper’s top, kept the legends in the game, and the young ‘keeper won the hearts of the crowd.

Late in the game Matt Jansen, the former Blackburn Rovers striker and guesting for the legends, equalised with a long range effort.

The game then went to penalties with the Legends winning 3-2.
