A football fan provided one of the most incredible story this month when he send his own money to save his beloved club Plymouth Argyle from extinction.
Kasra Sherell, 10, found out that his club is facing financial crisis and trying to crowdfund with at least £50,000. That is when he decided to help out.
His support to the club is unquestionable. Kasra was one of the mascot on his last visit to Home Park, when Ryan Lowe’s side beat Leyton Orient in the Carbao Cup first round, back in August last year.
Plymouth chairman, Simon Hallett received a letter from Kasra, along with a £10 note.
“Dear Simon. I read the note that you wrote on Thursday, April 23, 2020. I read that the club is going to have some financial difficulties. I wondered if I could help. I hope this does the club some good. I hope that we all come through this crisis very soon, I can’t wait for the Green Army to set sail once again.
“Hope you and your family are well. Sincerely, An Argyle fan.”
Coincidentally, Kasra’s father Matt Sherrell used to play football with former Plymouth striker Mickey Evans.
“I read and appreciated the ‘Note from the Chairman’ on the PAFC website, and shared it with my wife and three children, who I knew would be interested,” Matt said.
“Two hours later I found a letter on my bedside table, ready for posting, together with an envelope containing his pocket money. He had obviously raided his piggy bank!
“I believe he got Simon’s address from looking him up on the internet and using his company’s website. Kas had read about football clubs potentially having financial difficulties, and wanted to help Argyle out during its hour of need.”
Despite currently living in New York, Kasra has never forgotten his beloved club and as a fan, he did exactly what a fan should do. Supporting through thick and thin, for the survival of his club.
