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.
