Old school Manchester United fans, listen up. Paddy Crerand, the man, the legend, will be online at Ladbrokespoker.com this coming Wednesday for a friendly game of charity poker.

And you can join him.

Poker fans will be able to vie for a host of Man U tickets and other paraphernalia, in addition to other bonuses at Ladbrokes.com. To top things off, the tournament's free, although re-buying chips comes at a fee. All proceeds earned though the tournament will be donated to the Rainbow Trust, Paddy's charity of choice.

For poker fans with a passion for soccer as well, the tournament format will give players the chance to chat with Crerand about anything soccer throughout the competition.

For those not familiar with the history of Manchester United, Paddy Crerand was one of the team's top players during the 60's, a golden period during which Man U went on to win the F.A.Cup Final (1963), as well as the European Cup (1968) and two league championships (1965 and 1967).
