West Bromwich Albion supporters are to hold bucket collections for a charity of Chris Brunt's choice after the defender was struck by a coin.

Brunt had gone to give his shirt to a visiting fan after Albion lost 3-1 in the FA Cup fifth round at Championship side Reading on Saturday.

A group of fans will hold collections outside The Hawthorns before Saturday's league game against Crystal Palace.

"We want to show Albion fans are not all like that," said fan Debbie Green.

All money raised will go to a charity of the Northern Ireland international's choice, added Green.

A West Brom spokesman said: "It's a fan-led initiative and we are trying to co-ordinate it. It's got the club's blessing and it's got Chris's blessing."
