Dorchester footballers are taking their talents away from the pitch and behind the camera - by posing for a saucy calendar.

The Magpies' squad ditched their clothes to take part in a cheeky charity calendar at the club's Avenue Stadium.

Organiser Pauline Thorne, of the club's Avenue Forward Line fundraising organisation, said raunchy pictures of players like Justin Keeler, Andy Harris and Jamie Brown are set to send the hearts of female fans fluttering.

She said: "We had the idea of doing something like this a while ago but unfortunately never got round to sorting anything out.

"Dorchester then played AFC Wimbledon a couple of months ago who had published something similar. Their calendar sold really well so we put the idea to the team who agreed to do it straight away."

The calendars feature tasteful themed snaps of Dorchester players posing with items relating to various county town firms who sponsored each of the 12 months.

Money raised will be split between the Football club's coffers and Cancer Care Dorset.

"The pictures are very tasteful and although we expected some of the lads to be a bit hesitant, everyone really got into the spirit of the shoot. Manager Mark Morris and his assistant Brian Benjafield also took part and we'd like to thank everyone who took part and the firms for their support," she said.

The calendars will be on sale at the end of October from either Dorchester Town Football Club or Pauline Thorne on 01305 264243.
