Paul Mitchell, ex-captain and Community Ambassador said: “I’m delighted and honoured to be pulling on the white and gold again and be back in front of our great support at stadium MK. I’m also delighted that a cause so close to my heart is benefiting from this event, the SET and the MK Dons family supported me when my career came to an end and I’m hoping to emulate my previous efforts when Community Ambassador to raise a lot of money to make a difference and give back to the area where I live.”
