Brazilian club Coritiba wear Norwich fan's name on shirts to raise MND awareness

Coritiba, of Brazil's Serie A, wore "Jonny Butcher" on every shirt during their win against Chapecoense on Saturday. Butcher, 29, from Norwich, was diagnosed with ALS — the most common form of motor neurone disease — in February. Breathing difficulties and loss of mobility stopped him travelling to the match. The shirts read: "Your strength inspires us. We stand as one."
