Joey Barton and his Bristol Rovers squad brave the shave in support of Nick Anderton

Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton says the players and staff shaving their heads in support of cancer-stricken teammate Nick Anderton was the least they could do after the fundraiser for the defender passed the £26,000 mark.

The Gas descended on The British Barber Co. in Clifton on Monday to face the clippers and lose their locks, showing solidarity for the 26-year-old, who is undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma last year.

Barton is delighted to see so much money raised for Anderton and his young family in their time of need.
