A memorial football match in honour of Canaries legend Terry Allcock will take place in a town where he managed its team.

The celebration of Mr Allcock's life will include a game between Dereham Town and Fakenham Town 'legends'.

Kick off is set for 10.30am on October, Sunday 27 and will take place at Dereham Town Football Club, where Mr Allcock had managed.

Trevor Saunders, club manager of Football Against Dementia, said: "The event is about celebrating his life. We're looking to make it a really fun day and his family are all on board." 

In addition to the game, Mr Saunders also said there will be a range of activities and guest appearances.
