The Welsh striker said heartwarming words for the Notorious in a video that was shared by McGregor on his Instagram. “Conor’s donation is absolutely phenomenal, we couldn’t be any more grateful for it. You know, Your Space is only a small, local charity but for Conor to donate his money to that is unbelievable.”

“I was totally taken aback by it but the work they do there it earns good donations. But thank you very much to Conor because he didn’t have to do that, he’s gone out of his way to help a really brilliant organization and charity.” McGregor also wrote a heartwarming caption below the video. “So great to see Forged Stout visit Wrexham AFC and The Turf Hotel to support the amazing Your Space foundation which raises awareness and support for Autism. Great day, great town, great cause!”
