Their senior side might be struggling on the wrong end of the NPL2 ladder but the Eastern Lions have secured a massive coup off-the-field.
The Burwood-based club will be hosting a special dinner on July 24 with two former Liverpool and Manchester United greats to be distinguished guests.
Lions president Norm Willcocks has confirmed that former England internationals Robbie Fowler and Teddy Sheringham will be in attendance while the identity of the other two greats is yet to be revealed.
42-year-old Fowler spent 10 seasons at Anfield over the course of two stints at the club, scoring 128 league goals in 266 Premier League fixtures while also turning out for Leeds United, Manchester City, Cardiff City, Blackburn Rovers and the now defunct North Queensland Fury in the A-League.
A two-time PFA Young Player of the Year winner, he made 26 appearances for England, netting seven times, and was a part of the Three Lions World Cup squad in 2002 as well as Euro 1996 and 2000 sides.
51-year-old Sheringham was one of the most prolific English strikers of his time, scoring 147 goals in 418 Premier League encounters over the course of a distinguished 25-year playing career.
After making a name for himself at Milwall, he featured for two-time European Champions Nottingham Forest before enjoying two stints at Tottenham Hotspur in between his time at United.
Further spells in the EPL followed with the likes of Portsmouth and West Ham United and was named PFA Player of the Year in 2001 at the age of 35.
Sheringham is best remembered for his four-year spell with the Red Devils between 1997 and 2001 where he won three Premier League titles, an FA Cup as well as a Champions League title in 1999, memorably scoring a 90th minute equaliser in the 2-1 triumph over Bayern Munich.
A veteran of 51 England caps, he netted 11 times for the Three Lions and was a part of their squad at Euro 1996 as well as the World Cups in 1998 and 2002.
The dinner kicks off at 7pm at the Mulgrave Country Club, situated on the corner of Jells and Wellington Roads, and is being compered by David ‘Brooksy’ Brooks.
The night includes a three-course meal, entertainment, autographs, photo opportunities and memorabilia, with the ex-Premier League stars jetting down to Melbourne as part of the Liverpool Legends vs Manchester United Legends match at AAMI Park on the following night.
Drinks are at bar prices while tickets are priced at $100 per head or $900 for a table of 10, with all bookings made through the club website www.easternlions.com.au
