The 20-year-old, who had cystic fibrosis, died in March and his Blackpool Rangers FC team mates wanted to do something in his memory to raise money for the charity which supports people with the illness.

Max Weaver, who played football with Jordan as a youngster, has organised the event.

He said: “We are looking forward to it but it will be a bit emotional.

“The Cystic Fibrosis Trust did loads to help Jordan and this is just a way to give a little bit back.”
