CELEBRITIES from football and horseracing are joining forces at Crayford Greyhound Stadium on Monday to help raise money for charity.

Ladbrokes, owners of the track, has chosen Scope, which helps children suffering from cerebral palsy, as its designated charity for this year.

Tony McCoy, the champion National Hunt jockey, plus Premiership managers Joe Kinnear and Harry Redknapp are scheduled to make personal appearances to sign autographs, meet the spectators and take part in a special tipping competition which will also be part of the fundraising as will memorabilia from racing commentator Sir Peter O'Sullevan.

The 13-race card starts at 7.30pm.
