KIND-HEARTED Worcester City fans will get their money back after the hospital where Danny McDonnell had his shoulder surgery agreed to waive the fee.

Supporters had rallied round to raise the best part of £1,000 in 24 hours after the keeper's insurance company refused to pay out for the operation.

Dr David Robinson, who performed the operation, was disappointed to learn the insurers had not covered the cost and as a result the Spire South Bank Hospital in Bath Road have said they will forgo the fee.

McDonnell had the operation to repair torn tendons in December and is expected to be out for the rest of the season.
