DOHA: British sporting stars Alan Shearer and Lennox Lewis will be attending Aspire4Sport at Aspire Academy in Doha this weekend along with NBA legend Dennis Rodman.
Lewis and Shearer will take part in the Stars Chat session, starting at 6pm on Saturday, November 16.
Rodman will be joined by another NBA legend Alonzo Mourning.
Rodman is considered one of the best defensive players of all time and won five NBA championships during a hall-of-fame career.
Mourning was a seven-time NBA all-star who returned to the court following a kidney transplant to win an NBA Championship in 2006 with the Miami Heat.
Shearer is the all-time goal-scorer in the English Premier League (EPL) with a goal tally of 260 goals. The former Newcastle and England striker retired from football in 2006.
