Greta read, moving story.

The sort of story that can really put a lump in your throat, his younger brother also has leukaemia, so tough times ahead. A trying time for any family.

 

God bless Michael.

Nice touches by the club as well, donating 30% of the fee from their advertising boards to Leukaemia Research, despite their own money worries.

 

Well done to Stockport County and its supporters.

Pitythe Print media won't touch this story with a bargepole, they're only interested in scandal and stories that put football in a bad light.:mad:

Perhaps we should have a bucket Leukaemia Research collection before the Home Stockport County game.

Or maybe at least one game a season a Charity matchday with collections, special players shirts, matchday, and matchball sponsors being a Charity of this type, Barcelona and Aston Villa both do it all season; and we are a much bigger team than they are. :-)

I think we already have a 'charity' match, isn't it around rememberance day? Someone will know more.

We have had the shirts with the Poppies on around Remembrance Sunday, I was thinking something a bit more independent from annual national concentrated campaign.

Being a predominantly male attendance something like Testicular Cancer, would be an obvious choice, especially as it is such a big killer with the media almost treating it as a "oh by the way" story.
