Hartlepool manager Graeme Lee says he will be "forever grateful" to Crystal Palace fans after they donated £60,000 towards his wife's cancer treatment.
Gemma Lee, 41, was told she had 12 months to live in 2019 following a cancerous brain tumour diagnosis.
But after chemotherapy and radiotherapy failed to shrink the tumour, she began a £5,000-a-month trial of a new drug.
Palace tweeted a link on Friday to her fundraiser and more than £61,000 was donated before Saturday's FA Cup tie.
The Premier League club also subsidised the travel of 4,700 Hartlepool fans who attended the game, which Palace won 2-0.
