Lifelong football fan and legendary Oldham Athletic Matchday Press Officer Roy Butterworth has reached yet another milestone for local cancer charity Maggie's Oldham.
Since 2019, proceeds from his self-published book ‘A Fan On The Inside’ have been donated to the centre, which supports people living with and beyond cancer in Oldham, Tameside, Rochdale and beyond.
Roy has now been able to donate an incredible £3,000 from hundreds of book sales to date.
Trish Morgan, Centre Head at Maggie’s Oldham, said: "We really appreciate Roy’s continued support for us over the last few years, his amazing contribution means we can support more people with cancer and their families. The book is a great read and we’d encourage any football fan to pick up a copy.”
Roy's book
A club spokesperson from Oldham Athletic said: "It’s fantastic to see Roy’s book continue to raise funds for Maggie’s. He’s a big part of this football club and continues to have an impact, going above and beyond in everything he does.
"He loves the club and the town and will take great pride in being able to share his stories whilst helping a worthwhile cause. Well done, Roy and thank you for always keeping the faith!"
