The former clubs of Lee Collins have launched a Crowdfunder UK campaign to support the family of Lee following his tragic passing in April.

This is an appeal that Northampton Town, in partnership with all of Lee’s former clubs, are happy to support to raise funds for Collins’ partner and young children and mental health charities, with 10% of the donations given to Young Minds.

Described as the ‘glue’ of the club at his most recent club Yeovil, Collins also wore the captain’s armband at the Cobblers, Mansfield Town and Forest Green Rovers and played for teams across the EFL and National League including Wolverhampton Wanderers, Port Vale, Barnsley, and Shrewsbury Town.

Admired by all he played with, Collins set standards both on and off the pitch and will be remembered for his competitive attitude as well as his kind and caring nature.
