The family of a former footballer who suffered life-changing injuries when he fell down stairs 15 months ago hopes fans can help get him home.
John MacPhail, who suffered a brain injury in the fall at his home, has been receiving treatment at a neurology rehabilitation centre in Newcastle.
His family is raising money to pay for adaptations to his Teesside home.
A collection for the former Sunderland and Sheffield United player will be held as the teams meet on Wednesday.
Mr MacPhail's daughter Rebecca Hutcheson told BBC Radio Newcastle the family needed to raise £30,000 to complete work on an extension to the family home in Ingleby Barwick.
