Mother’s pride lifts Donny

GRANT McCANN’S mum Val was hit by a plastic bottle in Doncaster Rovers’ FA Cup win over Oldham last month. But Val and husband Sam will be loud and proud in the crowd at the Keepmoat Stadium to cheer on their son’s side against Crystal Palace today. Nothing will stop them supporting Rovers boss Grant (left) as the club attempt to make history by becoming giantkillers in the famous old cup.
