A number of former Irish League stars have teamed up to organise a charity football match in memory of Jerry Thompson.
Cliftonville and Linfield will lock horns in an Over 35s friendly at Solitude on Sunday, April 10.
The game will remember Jerry, who died suddenly back in December, 2019. He was only 24.

The former Carrick Rangers defender was a hugely popular figure in local football, and many of the game's most recognisable names will don their boots in his memory.
Already confirmed for the game are Linfield icons William Murphy, Steven Douglas, Alan Blayney, Ivan Sproule, Chris Morgan, Andy Hunter, Damien Curran and Mark Picking, while for the Reds there will be the likes of Marc Smyth, Barry Johnston, Declan O'Hara, Ryan Catney, Vincent Sweeney and Stephen Small - with more to be confirmed.
Former Linfield winger Picking is helping organise the event, with all proceeds going to Jerry's young son Thiago.
Picking told Belfast Live: "Jerry played Irish League football and had so much going for him, and it was a huge shock when he died.
"We had originally planned to hold a charity game shortly after his death, but then Covid hit and we couldn't do it.
"I had contacted former Cliftonville chairman Gerard Lawlor at the time about bringing two communities together in a charity game, but when the pandemic arrived the idea lost a bit of traction.
"We were then playing a game a few weeks back and I got chatting to Marc Smyth about playing a game against Cliftonville, and how we could raise money for Jerry's young boy.
"We thought it would be good to support Jerry's family, and any proceeds raised from the game will be given to his son. We will be setting up a charity page and we will also be raffling off two legends tops, one from Cliftonville and one from Linfield.
"It will be free entry on the day of the game, but there will be bucket collections at the ground so hopefully we raise some more money there.
"But we will keep the fundraising page going for a wee while so we can raise as much money as we can."
Picking added: "We also want to raise some awareness of mental health issues and suicide, because there are a lot of young people out there who are struggling right now.
"We want to share the message that there is always someone there to speak so. That's an important part of why we are organising this football match."
