Diamond FC, the charity football team backed by Crystal Palace legend Steve Kember, announced they will be playing a Chelsea old boys XI next year.
Kember's men raise money for the British Heart Foundation by playing teams across south London.
After a successful year, where they raised £600, they hope to increase that figure by playing a number of local sides and a team made up of ex-Chelsea stars.
As well as Kember, Eagles legend Jim Cannon also represents Diamond FC, plus new Croydon Athletic manager Brian Sparrow and ex-Palace and Spurs defender Dean Austin.
