The charity football match comes after the funerals of PC Blades and PC Clough, which were held in the North East earlier this year.
Hundreds turned out at Kirkleatham Walled Gardens in Redcar on September 10, with police officers and the British Army veterans turning out to pay their final respects to PC Clough, who was tragically killed along with his fellow officer Matt Blades when five young men, who also died, drove into them while driving the wrong way down the A66 during the summer.
Before joining the force, PC Clough served in the British Army from 2006 to 2012 and was a lance corporal with the Royal Logistic Corps. His last unit was 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Search Regiment.
In honour of the British Army veteran, who toured both Iraq and Afghanistan, the funeral cortege of PC Clough was flanked by soldiers in ceremonial dress and veterans displaying their medals.
Standard bearers from every police force in the country lowered their flags as the hearse passed by, and PC Clough’s coffin was draped in the Union flag and had a police helmet on top. Following his tragic death, the family of PC Clough paid tribute to him and said: “He was our hero with a fantastic sense of humour.
“Jumped into action whenever needed and willing to help anyone for any reason. Proudly fought for his country to make the world a better place.
“Always on public duty throughout his short life. We, as a family and Tom’s partner, would like to express our sincere gratitude for the overwhelming support and condolences from friends, colleagues and the wider community.
