Young Plymouth Argyle fan in USA sends letter filled with pocket money to help Devon club

After publishing a note about the current financial uncertainties, Plymouth Argyle's club chairman and majority shareholder Simon Hallett received a letter from an American fan who wanted to help.

10-year-old Argyle supporter Kasra Sherrell read Simon's note at home in New York and was desperate to try and help the club.

Kasra started rounding up his pocket money, including a £10 note given to him from his uncle on his last trip the UK.

He went about it himself to find Simon Hallett's address and popped the letter - filled with his pocket money - on his dad's bedside table ready for posting.

In a letter written by Simon Hallett, published on Plymouth Argyle's website, it revealed the club was suffering financially - like the majority across the country.

He announced that they have furloughed most staff but will lose money due to the coronavirus lockdown.
