Club captain Ben Tozer started coronavirus initiative to fund a ventilator and is hopeful of roping in manager Michael Duff

When Cheltenham Town next reconvene for a video conference call, the mosaic of on-screen faces will resemble a game of Guess Who? with a twist, given several players and staff are sporting buzz cuts after shaving their heads to raise funds for the NHS.

The club captain, Ben Tozer, was the first to give his teammates a shock on Friday morning. “I’d just done the Joe Wicks PE workout with my son in fancy dress, so I jumped straight on to the conference call dressed as Woody from Toy Story, whipped my hat off and a few of the lads had a laugh, so it’s all good fun,” says Tozer, who hopes the money can go towards funding a ventilator to help tackle coronavirus.
