Set to take place at the Academy Stadium on Sunday 3 April, the charity match sees footballing legends and celebrities commemorate the victims of the Manchester Arena attack.
The former strike pairing made over 200 appearances for the Club, scoring 87 goals in the process and are both synonymous with City’s gradual rise back up to the English top flight in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Indeed, Goater finished as City’s top scorer in four successive seasons between 1999 and 2002, before grabbing a famous brace in the final Manchester Derby at Maine Road in 2003 - which saw Kevin Keegan’s men run out 3-1 as winners.
Not to be outdone, Dickov’s late equaliser in the 1999 Division Two play-off final against Gillingham remains one of the Club’s most memorable and crucial strikes.
