LET'S CELEBRATE GAME'S POWER

NON-LEAGUE DAY shows off everything great about this level of the game and it's a big celebration for Prostate Cancer UK too.

- 

This weekend marks the tenth anniversary of their involvement with this special fixture in the football calendar.

Since 2014, Prostate Cancer UK has worked with the National League, its sponsors Vanarama, as well as hundreds of clubs. They have reached hundreds of thousands of men as well as raising more than £250,000, attracting national media attention in the process.

And this year will be no different.

I was at Eastleigh to watch my team, Hartlepool United, in National League action.

Prostate Cancer is a disease that affects one in eight men in the UK. That's thousands of dads, grandads, partners, brothers, uncles, sons and mates. Those odds shorten to one in four if you are black.

It's so key to raise awareness and football has been a key driver for doing so. From many Premier League managers wearing the Man of Men badge on their lapel in post-match interviews that are beamed to a worldwide audience to special events like this.
