And quite frankly, there's no-one more deserving.
Charlie Mortimore is widely known for his contribution to Schools Football in the Rushmoor area having been involved with the District football teams since joining Cove School in 1949.
In that time he has seen hundreds of players progress through the ranks — many enjoying established careers in the Football League.
That list includes Shots defender Darren Barnard and others like Kevin Betsy, Colin Fielder, Lee Holsgrove, Jamie Horton, Tommy Jones, Brian Lucas, Paul McKinnon, Mark O'Connor, Ted Pearce, Mark Sanford, Steve Stairs, Peter Storey, Alan Tankard, Stuart Udal and Richard Walden.
Charlie also enjoyed an excellent football career himself.
Starting at Aldershot as an amateur playing in the Football League Division 3 South, Charlie made his debut in the 1949/50 season and netted five goals in a 7-2 victory at Leyton Orient in February 1950.
He then scored twice in a 2-0 victory over Reading the following week in front of over 14,000 spectators at the Rec, helping his goal tally boost to 28 in 75 appearances at the Rec.
His career continued at Woking, where he scored 250 goals for the Cards in 363 appearances — still a club record.
His most famous match was the FA Amateur Cup Final of 1958 where Woking beat Ilford 3-0 in front of 71,000 spectators at Wembley.
Charlie's involvement in local sport is enormous and, upon retiring from football, was able to establish the Aldershot and Farnborough Schoolboys organisation as one of the most successful in the country.
He remains President at Farnborough Town Football Club for whom he has served since the mid 80's in a variety of different roles including chairman, director and vice-president before being given the major honour about ten years ago.
Charlie's achievements and dedication finally got the recognition it deserved three years ago when he was made an MBE for services to the game.
Many dignitaries and former players who owe their gratitude to Charlie are expected to make the trip down to the Rec on Saturday to support this big occasion.
A commemorative programme has been produced with the help of both clubs detailing Charlie's sporting successes, while taking older fans on a trip down memory lane.
Admission prices are £10 adults and £5 concessions and it is all pay at the turnstiles on the day.
