Captain Ben Mee and Jack Cork set the ball rolling with calls to local people who attend Burnley FC in the Community’s Extra Time club, which provides social opportunities and activities for the Over-50s but is currently suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“At this difficult time, it’s important for us all to do what we can to help,” said Mee.

“Trying to keep everyone fit and healthy is the most important thing, but that can lead to other issues such as loneliness and isolation.

“Hopefully this will raise spirits for those getting the calls and those able to watch the clips and it was really nice to speak directly to someone so appreciative of the chance to chat.”
