The former footballer was presented with a cheque by year 10 student Liam Nolan for continued research into Leukaemia and Lymphoma.

Geoff himself contracted the disease in 2003 and since then has been a patron of the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research charity.

The school has already raised more than £4,000 for the charity in memory of former pupil Nathan Teklebrhan who died in May.

Pupils and staff continue to raise money and awareness of this illness.
