A big-hearted Newcastle couple has helped to save an African football team from going bust with the help of kind donations from those back on Tyneside.
Crispin Mason-Jones and his wife Dr Ellie Bond have raised tens of thousands of pounds to save a sports club in the remote community of Mfuwe in Zambia.
Their team work since has secured the future not only of the senior team dubbed ‘The Mfuwe Mags’ - in honour of Newcastle United - but a new girls’ team and a successful netball side, the Mirror reports.
