Irish League fans should keep an eye out for Sky Sports presenter Jeff Stelling on Friday.
Stelling is bringing his fundraising marathon walk for Prostate Cancer UK to Belfast.
The Soccer Saturday presenter is walking four marathons in four days in four nations from September 5-8 to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK.
He will visit 16 football clubs in Glasgow, Belfast, Cardiff and London on the way.
The second leg of this epic challenge will be in Belfast on Friday, September 6, walking between Crusaders (Seaview), Cliftonville (Solitude), Glentoran (The Oval) and Linfield (Windsor Park).
On the way Stelling will be joined by a number of famous faces including former Northern Ireland striker and Soccer Saturday pundit Iain Dowie, television and radio broadcaster Colin Murray, Northern Ireland goalkeeping legend Pat jennings and boxing star Carl Frampton.
“When we kicked off this adventure from Victoria Park in 2016, I never imagined that three years on I’d be standing here having helped to raise an incredible £1million for Prostate Cancer UK and with almost 30 walking marathons under my belt,” said Jeff.
“It’s been an incredible journey, one I wouldn’t have managed without the fantastic support of the public, football clubs, football fans from across the four nations and everyone at Prostate Cancer UK.
“It looked fraught at times, with travel deadlines always looming in the back of our minds, but the passion and enthusiasm of my fellow walkers spurred us on to crossing that finish line. I’ve met some amazing people across the three challenges, and their stories and positivity will stay with me forever.
“These men, and their families, friends and loved ones, are the reason that I have marched over 750 miles since 2016. The extraordinary amount of money they have helped to raise will fund life-saving research so that in years to come, prostate cancer will be a disease that men and their families need not fear.
“I’m so proud to have played a part in the fight against prostate cancer, and I’m eternally grateful to the hundreds of walkers, volunteers, staff and celebrities who have been involved over the years.”
Dozens of Prostate Cancer UK supporters have also signed up to join Jeff in his challenge and help raise funds.
These include former Cliftonville footballer Walter Mills, who has himself had prostate cancer, and John Hutton, son of former footballer and manager Jackie Hutton who sadly died from the disease in 2015.
