Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling will be the special guest speaker at the Jersey Football Combination, and Jersey Football Association, end-of-season awards on 8 June at the L'Horizon Hotel.
Known to viewers worldwide as the host of Soccer Saturday, 'Unbelievable Jeff' will join an evening of celebrations, sponsored by Jacksons, to raise money for local football, and three charities: Prostate Cancer UK, Mind Jersey and Anthony Nolan.
Charlie Browne, President of the Jersey Football Combination, said: “It’s a real coup to have Jeff coming as he’s one of the most recognisable and well-respected football presenters out there. He’s a tremendous supporter of the prostate charity and we will be generating awareness and funds on the night, plus a percentage donation will be made to other charities from the table tickets sold."
He added: “It’s set to be a brilliant night reflecting on the 2017/18 season, with the Combination and JFA working together to celebrate local football and we must thank Jacksons for making it all possible.”
Jersey Sport marketing and communications officer Tim Pryor, a former BBC Radio Jersey sports editor, will host the night, which will start with a drinks reception in the Rose Lounge followed by a three-course dinner in the Crystal Room and a £1,000 cash prize draw.
Awards will be handed out to the best footballers in the island, but referees and supporters will also be honoured.
Tickets are available at a price of £850 per table of ten people and can be bought via the recently relaunched Jersey Football Association website.
