Charlton, who sadly passed away on Saturday aged 86, took part on a charity football match at the stadium, involving ‘old crocks’ from Scotland and England.
The late, great Manchester United legend Bobby Charlton once graced the hallowed turf at Ayr’s Dam Park back in the day.
A club spokesperson said: “This month Ayr Rugby Football Club are launching an appeal to find a home for the iconic Dam Park goal posts. “As a last-minute stand-in, George McLean, of Ayr, was replaced by the 'Maggie May' singing sensation Rod Stewart, who had to be smuggled in a side entrance in a plumber’s van!
If you are a community club or organisation who would like to be considered to receive the Dam Park football posts email [email protected] This involves increasing the size of the existing football pitch which has meant removing some of the athletics facilities including the long jump, pole vault, shot put and hammer/discuss throwing cage. The athletics track however remains and will be used for training.
