Gateshead midfielder JJ ODonnell recently found out with his current injury there is a 50/50 chance of him playing again, he has a problem called sesmoiditis which I think is something to do with inflammation of bones in his toes/foot.
Gateshead had been funding his treatment and for whatever reason pulled the plug on his treatment...
Step in 2 young Gateshead fans Lee Calder, 16 and Sam Jupp, 13 set up a fundraising page aiming for £5k for JJ to have the operation he needs, the funding reached just £7k after Sunderland Striker Danny Graham donated over £2k...
Not bad effort from a couple of kids

Yeh great gesture from real footie fans and Danny Graham. I hope the treatment goes well and JJ O Donnell makes a full a recovery as possible.

Re: Generosity of football fans
Just reading up on him on Wiki, apparently our fans chipped in to pay his wages when he came here on loan? Is that true? I can't remember that far back

Rings a bell - I think it was the season Hodgy kept us up at Lincoln. I'm sure I remember him playing in that game (although could be wrong).ArmchairDieHard wrote:Just reading up on him on Wiki, apparently our fans chipped in to pay his wages when he came here on loan?

We also chipped in for Chris Porter's wages back at Feethams I recall.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.
Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.
