Doherty to headline soccer match

Pete Doherty, fresh from a stint in prison, will be putting on his football boots for charity.

The Babyshambles singer is heading the line-up at this year's Samaritans Celebrity Soccer Six football tournament at Millwall FC on Sunday.

Babyshambles won the competition last year, thrashing arch rivals Razorlight.

This year's line-up includes McFly, Faithless, The Wombats, The Twang, Justin Hawkins and Get Cape Wear Cape Fly.

All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Samaritans.

Doherty, supermodel Kate Moss' ex, was sentenced to 14 weeks for drug use and breaching the terms of his probation order, but he was released after serving just 29 days.
