MP Linda Perham had a head to head with former England and West Ham football star Trevor Brooking.
The Ilford North MP met up with football star as part of Somerfield's pledge to raise £1m over the next year for the Meningitis Trust.
Linda and Trevor met a local resident who has survived meningitis and ITN newsreader Andrew Harvey, whose daughter also survived the disease.
Linda said: "I welcome Somerfield's commitment to raising this generous contribution to the work of the Meningitis Trust.
"I was very pleased to visit their store which I and so many of my constituents use."
