LANCASHIRE County Cricket Club chief executive and former Aston Villa goalkeeper, Jim Cumbes will be "in the box" facing the staff, corporate members and various celebrity penalty takers in support of BBC's Children In Need charity at Old Trafford on Thursday.
There will be a one-off charge for the privilege of taking three "shots at the boss" and the eventual winner receives a prize of a theatre evening for two, including dinner and an overnight stay at the Portland Thistle Hotel.
Former Manchester City and England star Francis Lee will be lining up to help bolster funds for the charity as he tries to beat Cumbes from the spot for the first time since the 1972 Charity Shield Final when City beat Aston Villa.
