The 42-year-old gave his thanks to those who supported him after he nearly had to give up his prized possession from his playing career.

Pompey favourite David Norris has expressed his gratitude after he was able to keep hold of one of his most prized possessions.

The 42-year-old initially put his League One winner's medal that he won with Plymouth Argyle in the 2003/04 season up for sale on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Norris was attempting to raise funds to employ a solicitor after claiming his parents had ‘disappeared with my savings'. According to Norris, he has been unable to track down his mother and father and wants his allegations to be heard in court.

In reaction to Norris' plight, a fundraiser was set up by Plymouth Argyle fans on JustGiving with an initial target of £1,000 but it ended up getting £6,000 from 375 supporters. As a result of the football community coming together, Norris will get to keep his winner's medal following the fundraiser.

"Staying with me," said Norris in a post on X who posted a photo of his winner's medal. "Thank you so much everyone ..Plymouth & Portsmouth fans & other teams I’ve played for & those who I didn’t. Overwhelmed by the support and a chance to try get some money back now. Mentions for @DevonportDreams and @JonWalters19 @tdog1410 Thank you."
