Disabled golfer Brian Parsons is "ecstatic" that he will be able to take on the Scots tomorrow, thanks to the Leicester Mercury.
Brian, who suffers from Parkinson's Disease, has had all his vital all-weather clothing replaced after his own kit was stolen.
Brian was left devastated last week after his waterproof clothes were stolen from inside his van days before he was due to line up for England against Scotland in an international golf competition for disabled players called the Auld Enemies Cup.
The dad-of-three feared that without the warm clothing he could not be able compete.
The three day match at The Shire London golf course in Barnet starts today and runs until Wednesday.
But the Mercury stepped in and spoke to suppliers American Golf on Welford Road who agreed to deliver a waterproof jacket, caps and balls, to the golf course for Brian to use.
Brian,45, from Aylestone, Leicester, said: "I am ecstatic. It is fantastic as I am not in a position to buy them myself."
The thieves had stolen two jackets, two pairs of trousers, four t-shirts and lycra under layers which were hanging up in his van to air out.
He said he was devastated by the theft because the people of Leicester had clubbed together to buy them for him three years ago after the Mercury had printed an appeal.
He said: "I was attached to this stuff because the people of Leicester bought it for me. I have looked after it for three years.
"It would have cost me £400 to £500 buy."
He said that having warm clothes was vital for him.
He said: "With Parkinson's my tremor is affected by the cold weather."
He said without the clothing his game would have been severely affected.
As well as the clothes being taken, two golf clubs were also stolen
Brian had to work hard over the past year to win a place in the competition.
Brian's wife Alexandra said she was so upset when they realised the waterproofs were missing.
She said: "Golfing is important to Brian and he has worked hard to get where he is."
She said the family struggled for money and would not have been able to replace the items themselves.
Matthew Coulson, manager of the American Golf store on Welford Road, said a parcel containing the waterproofs was being sent to Brian.
He said: "It is not nice having your car broken into and valuables stolen.
"To protect his health and wellbeing we needed to do something for him.
"A person's health is more important than anything else."
He added that they wanted to give Brian the chance to do the best he could.
