Fletcher moves the goalposts for boys club

Premiership footballers have a reputation for spending vast amounts of cash on fast cars and beautiful women.

But Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher is investing in an altogether more charitable cause by replacing two sets of goalposts stolen from a boys football club he played for as a child after reading about their plight in the Evening News.

The theft of four crossbars belonging to Easthouses Football Club in Midlothian put the club’s forthcoming season in jeopardy.
