Andy Wilson, 31, and his dad Neil, 59, visited the first Andy's Man Club group in Halifax three years ago after Andy’s personal struggles with his mental health.

The pair set up a Leeds branch, growing from nine attendees when they first started, to 80 this week.

Now Andy's Man Club has received a massive boost as Leeds United players will wear shirts emblazoned with their logo ahead of Saturday's home game against Huddersfield.
