Charlton are offering a PSA blood test to fans at Saturday’s home game against Plymouth Argyle - the first time a football club has done so on a matchday.
The PSA test is a blood test that can help diagnose prostate problems including prostate cancer, the most common cancer in men in the UK.
Saturday’s game at The Valley is Prostate Cancer and Men’s Health Awareness Day.
As part of this activity, PSA testing, undertaken by the Graham Fulford Charitable Trust, will be available from 12pm-2.45pm for fans of both clubs.
Charlton legends Scott Minto, Bob Bolder and Carl Leaburn will be among those tested on Saturday.
Men over 50, men with a family history of prostate cancer and black men are more at risk of prostate cancer. You can find out more information about the test by clicking here.
Charlton’s Player Liaison Officer Tracey Leaburn is leading this year’s Football to Amsterdam charity cycle for Prostate Cancer UK.
Team Addicks will be represented by 31 riders on a gruelling 146-mile bike ride. She said: “My father passed away from prostate cancer which is why I'm so passionate about fighting this disease.
