Carlisle United's Community Sports Trust have donated their entire share of cash from Tony Hopper's charity game to the former Blues hero's motor neurone disease campaign.
The Blues' CST were among four charities to benefit from the proceeds of the emotional Brunton Park game held in May.
But instead of using the money themselves, the community team have chosen to give the money to further boost Hopper's "fightback fund" for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
That means the MND Association have received £4,443.14 from the game between Carlisle and Workington legends on May 21.
Carlisle's other charity partners, Jigsaw Hospice and Great North Air Ambulance, also received some of the proceeds, which came from ticket and programme sales and collections on the day.
Nearly 3,000 people attended the game, which saw Hopper make an emotional cameo appearance in a Blues shirt alongside his brothers Darren and David.
On the money raised, United spokesman Andy Hall said: "We have handed over £2,503.90 each to Great North Air Ambulance and Jigsaw Hospice, our charity partners.
"And £4,443.14 has gone to the Motor Neurone Disease Association through Tony's fightback fund.
"That latter amount is because the Carlisle United Community Sports Trust donated their share of cash raised on the day straight to the MND Association."
The figures have only recently emerged despite the game having taken place nearly five months ago.
Asked about the delay in United confirming the details, Hall added: "It has taken a little bit longer simply because there were other charity activities involving our two charity partners over the summer which were ongoing, and everything needed to be reconciled before it could all be given out.
"It all needed to be reconciled before bringing it to a close."
Hopper's "fightback fund" has already raised about £34,000 for the MND Association in just seven months.
The campaign was started by the former midfielder and his family to help others in north and west Cumbria who are affected by the illness.
Hopper, 41, was diagnosed with bulbar-onset MND in January.
