James said: "The group of players play locally in Bognor and are playing in honour of those recently lost to this cruel disease. Sadly, my dad passed away in November and a couple of others in our group have had recent family bereavements due to cancer, hence why we are doing a footy game to hopefully get a big crowd to support the chaps.

"We have planned a half-time penalty competition for the fans watching to line up and try to score. A small prize will be on offer. There is also a £10 raffle to win a signed Manchester United football. The bar will be open for drinks and refreshments before and after the game.

"There will be a minute's applause before the game starts from players on the pitch and the crowd, and some balloons will be released for those who sadly have lost their lives."

Entry on the day will be £1. Visit www.justgiving.com/page/kickoutcancer for more information and to make a donation.
