Hampshire Whites Presenting Cheque to Piam Brown Ward

The Piam Brown Ward


This a children's ward at Southampton General which is for children suffering from cancer - often terminal. The money we have raised will be used in a very special way as explained by Abi Haines in her letter of thanks:

"It was great meet you all for the cheque presentation last week. I am pleased that your fundraised money will go towards our Christmas campaign which is focusing on getting children home for Christmas.

Once again, thank you for your incredible commitment. Fundraisers like you are at the heart of what we do, and we couldn't help improve care, comfort, and experiences

14th November 1998

Myron had been in hospital for 3 or 4 days when I went to see Liverpool play Leeds. Alan Smith made his debut for us and scored in our 3-1 win. After the match I got a phone call to say that he wasn't in a good way. My mate (a Liverpool fan), who was driving, got me back to Southampton General by 9pm so I could see Myron.


14th November 1998 was a very surreal day for me; the high of winning at Anfield, Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink and Alan Smith scoring – us winning. Then an hour later I was being told that my boy had a 50-50 chance in the next 48-72 hours. 


Myron spent his 8th birthday in hospital during an 8 day hospital stay where he was really poorly. Luckily with the Chemo and the fantastic staff that looked after him he pulled through.


The Good News


Myron now works with his dad, Glen and is celebrating his 35th birthday on 17th November 2025.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MYRON

Glen and his family have done some charity walks and raised enough money to buy the ward a computer and some games for the children as it’s a really hard place to be for both parents and children, but the staff really are special, and the children are resilient, and the parents tough it out mostly. Just a fantastic ward which means a lot to me, my family and 100’s of families in the south coast area. 


Hampshire Whites are proud to support this charity.

The Leeds United Supporters’ Network is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Terry Yorath, aged 75. Terry was a proud servant of Leeds United , a former Wales captain and manager, and a respected figure in football both on and off the pitch. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who knew him. Terry emerged as a strong, natural leader in Don Revie’s great Leeds United side of the early 1970s. Although born in Cardiff, Wales, he signed as a schoolboy, and went on to play a key role in the 1973–74 First Division title-winning team and featured in the 1975 European Cup Final, becoming the first Welshman to play in that competition’s final. He later enjoyed distinguished spells with Coventry City and Tottenham Hotspur, captaining Coventry with pride, and represented Wales with great commitment, earning 59 caps. Beyond his playing days, Terry gave much to the game as a manager, most notably with Wales, where he led a talented side that came heartbreakingly close to qualifying for the 1994 World Cup. His life was marked by personal tragedy, including the loss of his son Daniel and his presence at the Bradford City fire, events that showed his courage and humanity away from football. Terry Yorath will be remembered by LUSN members, and Leeds United fans everywhere, as a fierce competitor, a leader, and a man who represented our club with honour. As with all our legends, he will never be forgotten.
