Coronavirus latest: Jordon Forster proud after raising £5,000 for the NHS

Dundee defender Jordon Forster claimed he had never been prouder after raising £5,000 for the NHS by auctioning off some personal Scottish Cup memorabilia.

The centre-back sold his 2013 runners-up medal and the jersey he wore in Hibernian's 3-0 final defeat by Celtic in aid of NHS Charities Together.

Writing on Instagram, the 26-year-old former Plymouth and Cheltenham player said: "I want to thank everyone single person that showed an interest in my top and medal, the amount of kind messages I have received has been amazing. People have really showed they want to do good!
