Chaps,
I have recently been contacted by a Mansfield fan who has a son confined to a wheelchair and suffering from a disease called Aspergers Syndrome. From what I can gather, this is similar to autism but the child is an obsessive collector. In this case, of metal football badges.
What I'm trying to do is to collect as many as possible to forward on to him. I've already sent all my own as well as some gathered from other sources, but am appealing for more. So if you have any metal badges sitting in a drawer doing nothing, and would like to make a young kid very happy, please send them to me at:
PO Box 766
Hemel Hempstead
HP1 2TU
Many thanks
Dougie Brimson
