Millwall defender Danny McNamara has tracked down the young lion’s fan who gave him £20 of his birthday money along with a note asking him to donate it to a charity of his choice.
The boy, who signed the letter ‘Benji Savage’, handed McNamara the letter, containing £20 cash, after a recent game, with a note that asked him to donate the money to a charity of his choice.
The note read: “Dear Danny, Because you are my favourite player I would like to £20 of my birthday money for you to give to charity.”

Touched by the young lad’s selfless gesture, McNamara tweeted: “My chosen charity is Cancer Research due to this illness currently impacting my family at this time, also in memory of a Ted Ayres who sadly passed away this week at the young age of 59.
“Ted was a devoted Millwall fan – my thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.
McNamara not only donated the £20 but matched it with his own £20 contribution.
He added: “If anyone knows this little lad message me. I want to thank him personally.”
