THE Hero Of The Week Sun front page is in safe hands.
It has gone to Colin Lee, 79, Britain’s oldest goalie.
The RAF veteran, from Northampton, founded a footie team for other older former air force personnel to help them stay active.
He also serves as secretary for eight local sides and helps run ten teams for children.
The grandad, who has in the past received a Barclays Community Sports Award for his community football work, said: “I’m very proud to receive the Sun’s Hero Of The Week award.
“Every year more and more people joined so we started more teams and now we’ve had thousands of local people play for us.
