Manchester City player Jack Grealish donated £5,000 to help with funeral costs after an Aston Villa supporter was tragically found dead on Saturday.
Shawn Francis, 29, was expecting his first child this summer with his partner of five years, Danielle. A donation page set up in his memory has already raised more than £21,000 - which includes a £5,000 donation from friend and Blues forward Grealish.
On Saturday, a balloon release will be held at the Castle Vale Stadium in Birmingham. People in attendance have asked to release claret and blue balloons to mark Shawn's love and passion for Villa, reports the Birmingham Mail.
