FORMER England international Graeme Le Saux will be the patron of the Jersey Festival of Football in July.

Jerseyman Le Saux, who played in last year’s inaugural event alongside Pat Nevin, Viv Anderson and Chris Waddle, tops the bill at the three-day event from 18 to 20 July.

Royal Bank of Scotland International are sponsoring the Jersey Festival of Football, which raises money for Football Aid and Island causes.

Former Chelsea, Blackburn and Southampton defender Le Saux, who retired from the game three years ago, won 36 England caps and a Premiership title, a UEFA Cup Winners Cup medal and a League Cup winners medal in an 18-year career.
