Two anonymous Wycombe Wanderers supporters who have decided to donate several of their old Chairboys shirts have helped raise nearly £300 for football charity.
Kit Aid, which sends unwanted football shirts to impoverished parts of Africa and Asia, will receive an additional £290 after Bucks Free Press helped organize an auction in which several signed items were put up on sale.
These included three Luke O’Nien signed shirts, one Joe Jacobson signed shirt and four Wanderers training tops.

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