Hi, my name is Gary and I am helping to collect funds for a very worthy cause.

We are heartbroken to share that Harley Andrews, just 16 years old, passed away suddenly on 9 November after trying to fight off leukemia. His warm heart, bright smile, and love for football touched everyone who knew him. Whether he was on the field or cheering from the sidelines, the game brought him so much happiness and brought people together.

Harley originally played for his dad's team of Leigh Town and then moved to Astley & Tyldesley FC in January 2023 and was a fundamental part of the team in achieving a league and cup double in 2024. He was well liked by all involved in the game, especially his best friends Dylan and Liam. He was also one of those players that picked himself up and just got on with it, never complained.

We are raising funds to help Harley’s family with funeral expenses and to give them space to grieve without added financial stress. Any contribution, no matter how small, means the world during this difficult time.

Thank you for keeping Harley and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
