Neil presented a cheque for £10,639 to St Luke’s Senior Fundraising Manager Clare Collingworth at the Sheffield Wednesday ground.

Joining them were people who had helped with the project, including singer and Wednesday fan Richard Hawley, who signed all 500 books.

Support also came from the club and players who gave signed shirts and boots etc for an online auction that helped take the final total over £10,000.
