A signed football shirt worn by a Leeds United player during a Remembrance Day match is to be auctioned off to raise money for Leeds West Hunslet Salvation Army to help support vulnerable people in the community.
Donated by Leeds United Football Club, the shirt was worn, and has been signed by, midfielder Brenden Aaronson, who scored during the 2-1 win against West Ham last October in the match that was played closest to Remembrance Sunday.
Any money raised from the auction will go towards supporting the vital work the church and charity in Hunslet Hall Road does within the community, which is a stone’s throw from Leeds United’s stadium Elland Road.
Peter Lockwood, known as Stix, a former Leeds United player liaison officer and now matchday ambassador for the club chose The Salvation Army to donate to.
Stix said: “This is a signed poppy shirt, which was worn by midfielder Brenden Aaronson during the nearest home game to Remembrance Sunday, which last year was against West Ham.
