MARCHING FOR PROSTATE CANCER

Jeff Stelling makes no secret of his love of Hartlepool United and Sky viewers can genuinely feel the tension when the Pools result comes up on screen on match day. Today his beloved Monkey Hangers (yes, another nickname) (now 21st out of 24 in Division 2) beat 9th placed AFC Wimbldon 1-0, lifting them a little further out of the relegation swamp!

Jeff is an emotional chap and it is no surprise that he has become involved with the very important issue of Prostate Cancer and it is his idea to raise awareness by walking ten marathons in ten days, walking between football stadia from his home club to Wembley. En routee has been joined by club mascots Donny Dog (Doncaster) and Scunny Bunny (Scunthorpe) in South Yorkshire.

Men United March is taking him and his many followers 262 miles from north-east to south and today he was half way, covering "grounds" from Derby County, Burton Albion and two in Nottingham. He has been accompanied by fellow Sky men; Matt le Tissier, Chris Kamara, Paul Merson and Charlie Nicholas. Others have joined the walk, paying for the privilege to keep him company and there are other ways to donate.

Day ten takes his party from AFC Wimbledon, via Brentford on to Wembley and the whole event has been sponsored by Carlsberg.
