Goals 4 GOSH, a charity football fixture that has already raised more than £100,000 for a children’s hospital, is returning to Selhurst Park on May 26.

Coming back: Ian Holloway will be on the Selhurst Park touchline again for Goals 4 GOSH

Among the celebrities expected to put on their football boots for this worthy cause are Paul Gorton and Harry Clark from BBC television’s The Traitors, while former England international Joleon Lescott is also set to make his Goals 4 GOSH debut.

There are also set to be appearances from former England Lioness Lianne Sanderson and Hollywood star Tamer Hassan, while former Eagles manager Ian Holloway will return to the dugout and lead one of the sides.

As well as the match, there will be other events staged around the ground throughout the day including football tournaments for youngsters and an adults’ tournament.

All proceeds from the event will go to the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, with tickets for the day going on sale from tomorrow, March 28.

Good idea: Goals for GOSH founders Jamie Groves and Charlotte Styles

Goals 4 GOSH was the brainchild of Jamie Groves, the regional development director at Funeral Partners, and his friend Charlotte Styles. “When we had this idea, we thought it would be a one-off event which would be great fun and raise some money for charity.

“Nobody ever thought it would grow as big as it has.

“We have raised more than £110,000 in the last three years, with the 2023 game raising an incredible £46,731 alone.

“This year’s event is sure to be another brilliant day, with something for everyone to enjoy.”
