Stefano Eranio, Seth Johnson and Robin van der Laan are amongst the list of former Derby County stars that have been confirmed to play in the Sellebrity Soccer match on Sunday 7th October.
Nine ex-Rams players have been confirmed for the star-studded match at Pride Park Stadium in support of the Derby County Community Trust.

He will once again share the pitch with Johnson and van der Laan who became fan favourites during their time at Derby.

Darren Bent
Stefano Eranio
Stevie Howard
