NHS hospital staff will turn their talents to football this April when they tackle a team of celebrities to kick-start Bradford Hospitals’ Charity’s big appeal to improve facilities for children.
The match on 14 April at Horsfall Stadium – home of Bradford Park Avenue FC – will see NHS staff from across Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust pit their soccer skills against ex-professional footballers and TV stars.
Stars set to play on the day include actors from Emmerdale and Mrs Brown’s Boys, Big Brother’s Ellie Young, and former professional footballers Lee Duxbury (Bradford City), Craig Armstrong (Nottingham Forrest, Huddersfield Town, Sheffield Wednesday), and Darren Williams (Sunderland and England U21).
