A minute’s silence was held at Lewes Football Club on Saturday, February 8, to remember 29-year-old Joe Arnold who tragically died after a fire at his flat last month.

During the afternoon, a collection was made for the mental health charity Mind and raised £773.

Joe’s father, David Arnold, was immensely proud and pleased at the amount of money donated by fans.

He said: “It is an astonishing sum to raise at a minor non-league game.

Joe’s funeral is being held at Wealden Crematorium in Horam,
