Former Bristol Rovers loanee shows support for close friend Nick Anderton by shaving his head

Reading goalkeeper and former Bristol Rovers loanee Joe Lumley has followed the Gas squad and staff by shaving his head in support of his good friend Nick Anderton.

Rovers defender Anderton was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer last summer, and is undergoing chemotherapy treatment to combat the illness.

Lumley and Anderton’s friendship dates back to when they were teenagers and just making their way in the game, and the Royals No1 is also godfather to his daughter Grace.
