November 15, 2013, 10 years ago
SportsMole.co.uk reporter Danielle Joynson reveals that LED ZEPPELIN frontman ROBERT PLANT reportedly made a successful £900 bid to play for Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 65-year-old donated the cash during Jody Craddock's testimonial dinner this week in a bid to raise money for the Birmingham Children's Hospital.
According to BBC Sport, Plant will now take part in next year's testimonial match for the 38-year-old, whose son Toby has been treated for leukaemia at the Children's Hospital. Former Wolves manager Mick McCarthy is also said to have been in attendance at the event, which welcomed 280 guests.
Plant travelled to Mali to perform at the famed Festival In The Desert alongside ALI FARKA TOURÉ and TINARIWEN. Zirka is an 8-part, mostly self-shot documentary by Robert chronicling his experiences.
Says Plant: "It was a journey of revelation - one of the most illuminating and humbling experiences of my life."
