A celebrity football match in his name to be held at Aveley FC, raising money for the '2 Wish' charity that helps families affected by sudden death in young people.

Following the success of a charity football match in Southampton between the two teams university student Henry played for - Villarrealgorithm CF and Southampton University Football Club – the celebrity game will be held closer to home thanks to work behind the scenes from family and friends.

The game will feature celebrities including former West Ham and Liverpool footballer Paul Konchesky, television personality Calum Best and famous faces from Love Island and Married at First Sight.
