The football star, whose veteran son died in 2017, says lots of veterans need mental health support.

Combat2Coffee founder Nigel Seaman says he is looking forward to what the not-for-profit can achieve with Terry Butcher on board

The 65-year-old, who appeared in three World Cups, has joined forces with Suffolk-based Combat2Coffee to support veterans and their families. Butcher, who captained both his club and country, said: “I am doing this for my son, what he suffered and what we all went through as a family.” Butcher, whose appointment comes at the start of Armed Forces Week, said: “I feel very honoured and humbled. My son would have loved it if he was still here."There’s a lot of veterans coming out now with mental and physical health troubles. They come crashing out of the military and there still isn’t a lot of help there for them.
