Edgbarrow Sports Centre's grand reopening will kick off with a special visit from a well-known footballer on Sunday, August 1.

Ex-Chelsea and Leeds United striker Tore Andre Flo, will be making sure there are no own goals during the celebration, which marks the centre's re-launch after a fire late last year.

Mr Flo, who has also represented his native Norway in international matches, will be joined by the Deputy Mayor of Bracknell Forest Cllr Chris Turrell and the centre's mascot Foxy to celebrate its much earlier than anticipated reopening.
