As the hype around England's bid to finally win their first major international trophy since 1966 intensifies, organisers of this summer's huge Euros Fan Village on Devonshire Green have today confirmed an additional three football legends as special guests.
Fan City – the all-new fully immersive football village located in the heart of Sheffield – will welcome ex-Sheffield Utd and England star Tony Currie , former Blades and Owls boss Danny Wilson and Sheffield Wednesday icon Viv Anderson to their soon to launch European Championship party, as Blades and fans of Sheffield Wednesday lay down their rivalry for one month only to cheer on The Three Lions.
Wilson can count himself among a select band of Lancastrians to have won the hard-earned respect of those from the other side of the Roses sporting divide.

Tony Currie said: “I might be from London, but I'll always love the people of Sheffield.
