The cup will be played annually as a pre-season fixture,

Boro confirmed on their website: "Jeff, a cult hero at Scarborough FC in the 1970's, was a key part of the successful team, playing at Wembley four times in the space of five years.

"Jeff, who lived in the Hull area is highly regarded and was sadly taken from us last year and as we never really had the opportunity to pay our respects, this fixture was set up for this July.

"Following Jeff's playing career, he still loved football, playing an active part in his local community and supporting his family in playing the beautiful game.

"Jeff's family will be in attendance to present the trophy to the winning team."

The fixture will take place at Goole on Tuesday July 5, 7.45pm kick-off. Admission prices are adults £6, concessions £4 and juniors (Under-18s) £2.
