An England fan is walking all the way from Oldham to Wembley for England's game against Germany in honour of his late friend.
Lee McAllister insists the 210-mile walk is the maddest thing he has done in his bid to raise both money and awareness for the Ricky Casey Trust, which was set up after his friend died of RMC, a rare form of cancer aged 48.
Management consultant Lee, 47, played with Ricky at their local football club Springhead. And it is from that club where, on Sunday, Lee and his friend, postman Glyn Billington, embarked on the first leg of their nine-day trek to the capital.
