Aaron Sutcliffe 15th Nov, 2024   0

COVENTRY City are auctioning signed match-worn shirts in support of the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.

The Sky Blues wore shirts featuring an emblem of the poppy in games against Derby County and Sunderland.

After the Sunderland game, the players signed their respective shirts and are available to own via auction, exclusively on the MatchWornShirt website and app.

All of the net proceeds of these auctions will be allocated to the Royal British Legion.

 Ben France from the Royal British Legion said: “Battlefield trauma and mental health issues can manifest at any time in life and in different ways, including addiction, debt, homelessness and relationship breakdowns.




“Your poppy enables the RBL to support those who struggle with the upheaval and disruption of service life, and life after service.”

Head of Business at MatchWornShirt, James Flude, added: “The Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces community, and we’re incredibly proud to support this cause for the sixth consecutive year.


“At MatchWornShirt, we’re passionate about giving fans the chance to own a piece of football history.

“Each signed, match-worn shirt from this campaign not only captures a unique moment in sport but also helps ensure that vital support continues for veterans and service personnel.”
