West Brom's Ben Foster donates Premier League stars' shirts for auction
Shirts worn by the Premier League's top scorer, last season's player of the year and arguably the best goalkeeper in the country are to be auctioned off by Albion star Ben Foster for charity.
Fans will be able to bid for the shirts of some of the Premier League's biggest stars as part of a fundraising drive for Care Leukaemia.
They include Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, currently the Premier League's top scorer, Manchester United shot stopper David de Gea and Leicester City's title-winner and footballer of the year Riyad Mahrez.
Albion keeper Foster has collected the shirts from his Premier League rivals and the auction will be his latest fundraising effort for the charity.
Foster has also helped raised funds for youngster Bradley Lowery, whose battle with nueroblastoma and friendship with Sunderland hero Jermain Defoe has captured the hearts of the nation.
Bidding has now ended on Defoe's shirt, and half of the proceeds from the sale will go to his the family's charity. Spanish goalkeeper de Gea has signed his shirt.
Anyone who gives £10 to Foster's JustGiving crowdfunding page could be in with a chance of winning it.
Auctions for the shirts of Lukaku and Mahrez went live on eBay on Thursday. Two more will then be available every Thursday for the rest of the season.
Foster said: "I really hope these shirts can raise significant funds for Care Leukaemia. We sometimes forget, as footballers, how much fans value these shirts.
"I want to thank all of the players who have been so generous in donating their shirts and I really hope the public respond and get their bids in."
