Rochdale FC's CEO Russ Green said: “This charity has been extremely close to my heart since I joined Jeff Stelling on his 10 marathons in 10 days walk in 2016. Along the way, I met many amazing and inspirational people who have been affected by this disease, either directly or because of a loved one.

“Prostate Cancer UK’s work with the EFL over the last few years has helped bring that awareness to the forefront and I’m delighted that we, as a football club, are able to do our bit and show our support. I’m proud to know that Prostate Cancer UK will be sponsoring us down below.”

James Beeby, director of fundraising at Prostate Cancer UK said: “The power of football consistently helps us reach out to men and their friends and families, and we are very grateful that Rochdale AFC are doing their bit to raise vital awareness.

“It was great to have Russ on Jeff Stelling’s March back in 2016 and we’re delighted that he’s chosen to support us once again, albeit in a somewhat less strenuous way.
