WEST LONDON rugby fans joined in support of a charity game to help the plight of Stuart Mangan.

The 25-year-old Hammersmith & Fulham player was paralysed from the neck down just over a year ago playing in a club match at Hampstead.

An innocuous-looking tackle ended with Mangan confined to a wheelchair for life and dependent on 24/7 care in his Notting Hill flat.Regular readers of this paper will be familiar with the horrendous tale of the former fly-half.

A star-studded Rosslyn Park President's XV hosted a Middlesex President's XV, with all proceeds going to the Mangan fund.

Hammers clubmate Chris Kennedy also ran Sunday's Flora London Marathon in aid of the Stuart Mangan appeal.
