FOOTBALLERS in Heddon have lined up to show their support for a teammate diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Players and management at Hexham and District Sunday League side Heddon St Andrew's donned t-shirts sporting the slogans "Supporting Scotty" and "Check Your Tackle", ahead of their weekend clash with Hexham Hearts.
The footballers are hoping to raise £750 for Newcastle's Freeman Hospital, where Scott Flynn was treated and will be taking part in a sponsored swim at Longlands Beach, Tynemouth, on December 27.
The team‘s fundraising page is at www.justgiving.com/heddon-st-andrews.
