A football forum at Banbury United on Thursday (October 17) will raise money for a cancer research appeal.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Neuroblastoma Society, which funds research into a rare form of childhood cancer.

The illness was highlighted two weeks ago when it was revealed that 18-month-old Banbury baby Molly Bird was suffering from the highly malignant cancer that affects around 120 children in the UK every year.

The panel will include Banbury manager Kevin Brock, Martin Singleton (ex-Coventry and Bradford), Vinne Halsall (former England under-15 coach), Ollie Kearns (ex-Reading, Hereford, and Wrexham), Kevin Wilson (ex-Derby, Chelsea, and Northern Ireland), and Phil Lines.

The forum starts at 7.30pm and tickets cost £2 or £1.
