A whole host of famous footballing names will be taking part in the event - starting with former England, Rangers and Pompey striker Mark Hateley.

Michael Mols, Mark Walters, Clint Hill, Neil Murray, Alex Rae, Marvin Andrews and Gregory Vignal have all been announced as attended to play for the Rangers side.

The Lee Rigby Memorial Cup event is being held at AFC Portchester on Friday, June 3.
