Boston Town will be holding a collection at our next home game in memory of former player Adam Jackson.
Tribtues have been paid from across the football community to the 34-year-old, who was a father-of-two.
A fundraising effort set up to help his wife Emma and daughters Myla and Ennis has raised over £14,00 so far.
Supporters will have a chance to contribute to the fundraising when we play Belper United at the Mortgages For You Stadium next Saturday (18 March).
There will be collection points around the ground, with all donations going to the GoFundMe page Supporting Adam’s Girls.
Adam played much of his career for Holbeach United and Spalding United.
He also spent a season with Boston Town, playing a key role in Martyn Lakin’s side that finished 7th in the United Counties League in 2010-11.
One of his most memorable games was when he helped the Poachers come close to pulling off an FA Cup shock at Northern Premier League Lincoln United. The home keeper was sent off early on for handling outside his area and Adam scored from the resulting free-kick as his shot came off the underside of the bar and bounced out. It was deemed to have crossed the line despite vehement protests from the Lincoln United players. The game ended 2-2, with Boston losing the replay.
Adam had been played this season for Skegness Town, whose boss Chris Rawlinson joined the tributes.
Speaking to Spalding Today, Chris also urged anyone struggling with mental health to reach out for help.
