Gary Neville makes significant donation to Brighouse Town to help them through coronavirus crisis

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has made a significant donation to Brighouse Town to help the non-league club cope with the financial impact of the coronavirus crisis.

Brighouse, based in West Yorkshire, play in the Northern Premier League Division One North West. They were in eleventh place before this season’s results were expunged.

Neville chose to make the donation as he recalls going with his late father to watch Salford City lose 3-1 to Brighouse, who play at St Giles Road.

Neville told Brighouse’s official website: ‘Brighouse Town holds a special place in my heart even though the result did not go in our favor with Salford City suffering a 3-1 defeat on the day.’

His father, Neville Neville, died in 2015 aged 65.

The club expressed their gratitude towards Neville, with a statement reading: ‘Brighouse Town Football Club are extremely grateful that Gary Neville ex- Manchester United legend and Sky Sports pundit has donated a significant amount towards helping the club in these uncertain times.

‘Gary’s donation will help to go towards the loss of income through the season being ended early by the Bet Victor Northern Premier League back in March.

Brighouse thanked Neville and said his donation will help to cover the recent loss of income

‘The loss of income through no home games and the Club house being shut has added to the Club’s difficulty in maintaining an income stream which has led to uncertainty within Brighouse Town Football Club.

‘The generous donation and the donations of others including existing sponsors, famous footballers and other local Business owners in the community will help to ensure we can get through this as a Football Club.’

In addition to his media work with Sky Sports, Neville is a co-owner of League Two side Salford City, who are still waiting to see whether they will resume playing this season.

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says. ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
