Calling all Arsenal supporters!

A charity match featuring many former Gunners players will be taking place this weekend.

The game is to raise funds for a much-loved north Herts charity called Garden House Hospice.

The clash will be between former Gunner Ian Allinson's team against Betty's Blue Boys.

You might know Betty Leigh Allinson from her incredible fundraising during the height of the first lockdown last season, when the inspirational youngster rode a mile a day on her bike to raise funds to the hospice.

Betty made national headlines as the nation took her to their hearts as she raised more than £30k for the hospice.

Dad Lee, a rising managerial star, will take charge of Betty's team, as they aim to get one over on her grandfather Ian.

The match will take place at Shefford Sports Club at midday on Sunday.

Confirmed former Gooners include:

Graham Stack

John Halls

Ben Chorley

Steve Sidwell

David Noble

Chris Whyte

Ian Selley

Paolo Vernazza

Omer Riza

With Kevin Lisbie (Charlton) and John Fortune (Charlton) Stuart Wardle (QPR) also set to take part.
