This Tuesday night, League One side Stevenage Borough will be hosting a benefit game for their former player, Mitchell Cole, the brother-in-law of West Ham midfielder Joe Cole, and several Irons players have agreed to play in the game at Broadhall Way. Cole began his footballing career at Upton Park and so the match has a special resonance for Hammers fans.
Cole's West Ham teammates Mark Noble, Kevin Nolan, Matt Jarvis, James Collins and Andy Carroll will all be representing the Mitchell Cole XI which will take on a Stevenage XI on Tuesday night. The match is in memory of Stevenage favourite Cole, who passed away last December aged 27, having retired from professional football the previous year owing to a serious heart condition.
All the news about the match can be followed on Twitter via the hashtag #matchformitch.
Tickets are priced £10 for adults and £5 for U18s, with all proceeds going to the Cardiomyopathy Association. Kick off is at 7pm.
