The former Peterborough United player, who made more than 600 appearances in the football league, was recently diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

Co-organised by the 75-year-old's daughter Anita, 100 per cent of the cash raised at the Take That tribute concert, held at Childers in Whittlesey, will go to Tommy.

Peteborough United owners Darragh MacAnthony, Jason Neale and Stewart Thompson have agreed to sponsor the night and cover relevant costs.

In a recent interview with POSH TV, the left winger who served the team for 13 years, opened up about his diagnosis and how he is moving forward.

Speaking about when doctors announced the diagnosis, Tommy said: "I don't mind telling people, we all [Tommy's family] sat there and we all had a good cry.

"We just brought it out into the open and said 'look, this is what's going to happen in a few years and we can't do anything about it'… it can't get any better.

"My legs will get it [motor neurone disease] and I'll end up in a wheel chair and things go on from there."
