There will be two repeat showings on Sky Sports 2 on Thursday at 6.30pm and 10pm. Sky viewers can also watch via the On Demand, Sky Go and Catch-up services immediately following the first showing on Wednesday night.
“It will be great to revisit the event thanks to this eagerly anticipated documentary. We’re once again grateful to Johnny Phillips and the team from Sky Sports for their support in covering it every step of the way and for their continued help spreading the message.”
Chief Executive of Prostate Cancer UK, Angela Culhane, said: "The blisters may have healed after an incredible 10 days, but I’m delighted to say the legacy of Jeff’s Men United March is still very much alive.
Prostate Cancer UK is the Official Charity Partner of The Football League and 25 clubs were represented along the route, through the heartlands of England.
He continued: “You can’t ignore the football results on my show and you should also not dismiss a disease that kills one man every hour - that’s six in the course of Soccer Saturday every week.”
“There were highs and lows, tears and triumphs but being able to raise an amazing amount of awareness about this disease, not to mention more than £365,000, is incredible.”
Stelling said: “Ignoring prostate cancer won’t beat it, and I was proud to join the fight during the recent Men United March - they were 10 days I will never forget.
The money raised will help fund vital research projects such as Professor Johann De Bono's at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, and The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, whose teams have been developing a genetic test for aggressive prostate cancer to help assess which men will respond best to a certain treatment.
