Josh Morris confirms Legends XI Iron appearance

Former winger Josh Morris 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 34-year-old scored 37 competitive goals for the club, and was the top goalscorer in Europe at one points during the 2016-17 season, having scored 15 goals by November.

The winger was a standout performer in our inaugural Iron Aid two years ago as he bossed the heart of midfield, agreeing to return once more for the latest encounter against the Red Devils.

IRON AID 2024

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.
