WITNEY United are hoping to attract celebrities to pull on their football boots for a charity match.

The club will host a match at Marriotts Stadium, Witney, on September 2, between Fox FM Oxfordshire Non-League Legends XI and Arsenal Legends and Celebrities XI.

Money raised will go to the Arsenal Foundation and Help an Oxfordshire Child, which raises money for children in Oxfordshire.

Event organiser Mark Reid said former Arsenal squads had included ex-players Steve Williams and Chris Whyte, and actors Phil Daniels, Joe Swash and Ralf Little.

He added: "It won't just be about the football - this will be a family day out with a fun fair, bouncy castle, face painting, and lots more for the kids."
