The campaign was set up to help the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust increase the capacity at New Cross Hospital, with former captains Karl Henry and Danny Batth, previous managers Mick McCarthy and Glenn Hoddle, and ex-chief executive Jez Moxey among the many involved.

And, by last night, £25,289 had been raised.

Carl Ikeme, John Richards, Matt Murray, Jody Craddock and Robbie Keane are also among the many former Wolves players involved.

Former managing director Laurie Dalrymple also made a donation over the weekend.

Dalrymple, now at rugby club Harlequins, posted on Twitter: “Happy Easter everyone! Stay safe and stay at home to allow everyone else to keep fighting the fight.

“I’ve just donated to this amazing initiative. Hope you all take time to visit the link. Sending love and positivity to everyone involved in the trust.”
