"Not only will we be able to see some stars of the past but we will also be raising lots of money to help our patients and staff in our local hospitals.

“It truly promises to be a fabulous day of fun and football and I can’t wait to see if David can beat Goliath again as the non-league boys take on the Premier League giants.

"Don’t forget every penny raised goes back to support your local hospitals.”

The match will cost £15 for an adult and £5 for a child under the age of 16. A family ticket (two adults and two children) will cost £30. Click here to buy a ticket.
