An England shirt signed by World Cup heroes including Joe Cole and 10 other squad players is among great prizes up for grabs at a forthcoming celebrity football match in aid of charity in Eastbourne.

The shirt, also signed by Sven Goran Eriksson, will be raffled by children's charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) at the match between Eastbourne United Vets and the famous Arsenal Ex Pro and Celebs team on August 13th. 

The final of the legendary footballers and showbiz stars set to take on the Eastbourne team will soon be confirmed but among those who could be playing are former Arsenal player Brian Hornsby, former England International Steve Williams, East Enders star Joe Swash and Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley.  

Eastbourne United is urging England fans to get behind them in a bid to raise money for CRY, which aims to raise awareness of Sudden Death Syndrome, most commonly affecting people under 25. 

Tickets for the charity raffle are already on sale and are available from Eastbourne United Football Club or CRY charity at www.c-r-y.org.uk  The winning ticket will be drawn over the match at The Oval. 

Other top football memorabilia is also set to go under the hammer at an auction organised by Eastbourne United on the day. 

Among the lots already confirmed are footballs signed by Arsenal and Southampton, a Thierry Henry football shirt and a limited edition Portsmouth FC TY Beanie Baby. 

There will be another raffle, also organised by United, with tickets being sold during the match with more great prizes including days out at local attractions and gift vouchers for Eastbourne stores. 

Tickets for the match are now on sale and can be purchased from the Eastbourne United club house.  Adults are £4, children £2 or a family ticket for 5 - £10.
