Former Newcastle United captain Bob Moncur is to telephone elderly football fans to help combat loneliness as people avoid face-to-face contact amid the coronavirus outbreak.
"It's very important for people to keep in touch and this is a great way to check supporters are keeping safe and happy," said Moncur, who played for the club between 1962-74. The scheme will be an extension of the club's Memory Cafe, which sees lonely or isolated people meet monthly at its St James' Park ground to chat.
Well done, Bob Moncur, a true gent.
