Two anonymous Wycombe Wanderers supporters who decided to give away several of their old Chairboys shirts have helped raise nearly £300 for a football charity.
Kit Aid, which sends unwanted football jerseys to impoverished areas in Africa and Asia, will see an extra £290 go their way after the Bucks Free Press helped organise an auction that saw several signed items go for up sale.
These included three signed Luke O’Nien shirts, one signed Joe Jacobson shirt, and four Wanderers training tops.

This comes after the BFP arranged a separate auction at the back of March this year for the charity, where we managed to raise £1,100 through 15 unwanted Wycombe shirts that dated back to the early 1990s.
