Ex-professional footballers will appear at the Financial Services Cup 2016 held on 6 July.

Mark Walters, Lee Hendrie, Michael Thomas, John Gregory, George Berry and Steve Bull will be acting as managers to the teams.

James Prosser, managing director of Front Events, organisers of the Financial Services Cup 2016, said: “With the entire country, perhaps with the exception of Scotland, currently glued to Euro 2016 the financial services industry’s finest footballing talent will also be showing their ability (or lack of it) at the inaugural Financial Services Cup next month.

“Without wishing to denigrate the skills of those involved, we felt many of the teams could do with some help which is why we have enlisted the services of six ex-professional footballers who will be taking on the role of managers throughout the day.”

The event will feature 30 teams with money raised going to Well Child, a charity helping sick children.

The top two teams will receive a cash prize to give to their chosen charity.
