Sam Togwell Confirms Legends XI Appearance for Iron Aid

Scunthorpe United is delighted to announce that former fan favourite midfielder Sam Togwell has confirmed he will take part in Iron Aid 2026, returning to the club to wear claret and blue as part of the club's latest fundraiser.

The now-41-year-old is the current manager of Beaconsfield Town, where he was formerly a player. During his time at Glanford Park, Togwell would make 176 appearances for the club over a four-year period, earning promotion to the Championship in the 2008-2009 season at Wembley against Millwall and then winning the Ernie Storey Memorial Trophy in the 2010-2011 campaign.

IRON AID 2026

Scunthorpe United Football Club is delighted to announce the return of Iron Aid, with a Scunthorpe United Legends side set to take on a Manchester United Legends XI in a special pre-season fixture at the Attis Arena on Sunday, August 2nd (4pm kick-off) as part of a wider event with more details to be released in due course.

The highly anticipated event, organised in partnership with Nor-Lait Promotions, will bring together some of the most iconic names from both clubs' histories for a memorable afternoon of football, nostalgia and fundraising.

Iron supporters will once again have the opportunity to see former fan favourites pull on the claret and blue shirt, while a star-studded Manchester United Legends squad promises to attract supporters from across the region.

The match marks the return of the popular Iron Aid concept, which in 2024, as part of the club's 125h anniversary celebrations, raised significant funds for local charities and community causes, whilst creating unforgettable occasions for supporters of all ages.
