Ex-pros take on the England Blind Football team

As the England Blind Football team jet off to Turkey for an international tournament, Channel 4 is gearing up to screen four ex-England full national professionals play a match with the blind squad.

That Paralympics Show came to the Royal National College for the Blind, home of the England squad a couple of months ago to film the four players, including Andy Cole and Danny Murphy, training and competeting blind folded with current members of the Blind England set-up (including my college lodgemate, Owen Bainbridge).

You can see how impressed they were with the team and how they got on, on That Paralympics Show tomorrow (Saturday 2 April, 2011) at 1.25pm.  It will be available online on Channel 4's 4OD player for a limited time afterwards.
