The 40-year-old will step in for Chesham’s No1 goalie, who is unavailable to play.
Stack will be hoping to put in a strong showing and keep a clean sheet against Poole with play due to get underway at 3pm on Saturday.
Stack, who is Watford’s Head of Academy Goalkeeping, said on Twitter: “So today I’m coming out of retirement!
“The Chesham GK is unavailable to play so I will be deputising in his absence.
“Should be a lovely day! Up the Generals!”

Stack only made five appearances for Arsenal during his time in North London.
But he witnessed greatness first hand in the early 2000s as Arsene Wenger‘s men made history and went a whole league campaign unbeaten.
He played back-up to first-team Invincible Jens Lehmann.
Stack enjoyed more success in England’s lower leagues.
