The Haven House Children’s & St Joseph’s Hospices’ charity football match featuring Daniel Mays as the Celebrity Team manager against the Tottenham Hotspur Legends team was held Sunday 17 May at Leyton Orient’s Matchroom Stadium.
While the Spurs Legends team won the match 10-5 over the Celebrity Team the real winners are the two wonderful charities. An amazing total of almost £25,000 has been raised!
Thank you to everyone who attended and donated. We hope that you had a wonderful time!

The National Theatre has released rehearsal photos from The Red Lion:
Small-time semi-pro football, the non-league. A world away from the wealth and the television cameras. A young player touched with brilliance arrives from nowhere. An ambitious manager determines to make him his own. And the old soul of the club still has dreams of glory.
A haunting and humorous new play about the dying romance of the great English game – and the tender, savage love that powers it. From June 3 at The Dorfman Theatre.
