The chairman and owner of Bracknell Town football club says he wife has put off an urgent cancer appointment so that she can be at next week's FA Cup tie against Ipswich.
Writing in the programme notes for Monday's FA Cup game Kayne Steinborn-Busse said since the draw his wife Sophie had been diagnosed with breast cancer. When she was told she would have an appointment with her surgeon on the day of the match she declined insisting she must be at the game.
He described the moment as lifting a sober mood and capturing the magic of the FA Cup. He said the game would be a welcome positive distraction to his family. His wife's family has been involved in the club for more than 50 years.
Additionally he revealed, in another personal blow, his father has been diagnosed with lymphoma.
The game will be played on Monday 7 November at Bottom Meadow in Sandhurst - the ground where Bracknell Town play their home games.
It'll be shown live on ITV 4 and watched by a sell out crowd of 2000.
