Big hearted footballers from a Doncaster junior team swapped shots for sponges and balls for buckets as they held a charity car wash to raise funds for their coach’s daughter who is battling breast cancer.

Players from Stainforth Juniors U13s scrubbed and cleaned a string of vehicles to help collect money for Emma Jayne Johnstone, the daughter of the team’s manager Jimmy.

She said: “They have my appreciation for the hard work they have done and the fact that they have given up their time to help.
