Watford manager Malky Mackay is set to play alongside the likes of Gianfranco Zola in a charity match to be held in memory of former Hornets boss Mike Keen.

Keen, who played more than 100 times for Watford and managed the club between 1973 and 1977, died in April after a short illness at the age of 69.

Although he spent most of his playing career at Queens Park Rangers, Keen was born in High Wycombe, lived in the area most of his life and ran two shops in the town following retirement.

So it was decided to hold the charity match in his home town and a Wycombe Wanderers Legends line-up with take on the Kevin Keen All Star Team on Thursday, April 15.

Mike’s son Kevin is first team coach at West Ham United and Hammers manager Zola, his assistant and former Chelsea defender Steve Clarke and ex-England international Teddy Sheringham are all set to play in the match at Wycombe’s stadium, Adams Park.

Former Uruguay star Gus Poyet and the three Allen brothers, Clive, Paul and Martin, will also be featuring alongside Watford boss Mackay.

All proceeds from the game will go to Cancer Research. Tickets cost £10 for adults and £1 for concessions and can be purchased by calling 01494 441118.
