TV star Alex Brooker hails vital role of non-league clubs after joining forces with National Lottery Football Weekends

Alex Brooker has called for greater public awareness of the vital community work non-league football clubs undertake after enjoying an eye-opening visit to York City FC.

The journalist, presenter and comedian, 37, is renowned for his Channel 4 television exploits on shows like The Last Leg but away from the cameras, is an avid football fan with a passion for all things Arsenal.

And that’s why he’s teamed up with The National Lottery Football Weekends Campaign to celebrate local Football Clubs and the Communities they serve across the four home nations and promote the fact that over 100,000 tickets are being made available on a 'Buy One Get One Free' basis for selected matches in March and April.
