An Australian film star has signed up to take part in a hospital radio’s charity football match.
Adam Garcia, star of film Coyote Ugly and television show Got To Dance, will be joining Radio Northwick Park’s football team as they take on a team of former Arsenal players and celebrities next month.
The match, which will kick off at Harrow Borough Football Club on August 18, will raise money for Radio Northwick Park and the Arsenal Foundation.
The hospital radio station at Northwick Park Hospital is run entirely by nearly 150 volunteers and has been providing entertainment to patients and visitors at the hospital for more than 40 years.
Mr Garcia said: “A friend of mine made me aware of the charity and the football match, and I thought, what better way to help in some way than to play the game I love the most.”
