As Hitchin Town's crowdfunding appeal nudges ever closer to its target of £25k the Canaries have found their equivalent of 'Captain Tom' - albeit 95 years younger!

Young Teddy Donnelly is set to walk 25 laps of Top Field later this month to help raise funds for the appeal intended to seal Hitchin's survival.

Teddy, five, is the son of former Canary Luke. He wants to raise money to help the club that has seen his grandad Ian and three of his uncles - Callum, Brett Donnelly and Josh Bickerstaff - play for.

On Sunday, September 27, Teddy is going to walk 25 laps of Top Field which is about 9km in distance - meaning Teddy can be Hitchin's equivalent of the legendary Captain Tom - even if he is nearly a century younger.

The club said: "Please support Teddy in his quest as the link between the Donnelly family and Hitchin Town FC remains as strong as ever."
