Andys Man Club FC is made up off members from the clubs around the country.

Anthony Probets from the team said the idea of forming a team took off after they played their first game and members wanted to carry it on.

John Daly from AFA based in Nottingham said: "The organiser of the Andysmanclub team got in touch before Christmas as he wanted to do a match with our AFA team.

"Our team consists of fan players, but as and where we can, we have ex-pros and celebrity players that play for us too."

Alongside the match there will be family entertainment, stalls and a raffle.

Entry is £2 and all the money raised will be split between the two charities.
