Match-worn poppy shirts raise over £12,000

AFC Bournemouth match-worn poppy shirts have raised over £12,000 for the Royal British Legion.

Shirts from the games against Leeds United and Everton were auctioned off, with the players bearing the poppy as a symbol of remembrance for those that have lost their lives in war and continue to represent our armed forces.

368 bids were places across the world with Dominic Solanke's shirts proving the most valuable, selling for a combined £1,719.

There were winners in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Switzerland, France, China, Finland and the Netherlands, with proceeds being donated to the Royal British Legion. 

The total marks a significant increase on the £7,500 raised for the charity in last season's shirt auction.

All money raised will help make a difference to members of the Armed Forces, veterans, and their families by providing practical help, advice and support.

The Royal British Legion is the country’s largest Armed Forces charity and it is the Legion’s aim to provide lifelong support for those who have been affected - both physically and mentally - as a result of their service. You can find out more information on The Legion’s great work here.
