Shirt auction offer

...Andover charity Brave Hearts has taken up his cause and launched an appeal to raise £10,000 to buy a two-seater wheelchair with body supports and harness, and a special medical bed with side guards and safety pads that will protect him from harm.

Now printer Andrew Newman, aged 36, of Florence Court, who won the shirt in a raffle during the club's first season in the Premier League, wants to auction it off for the appeal.

The whole squad for the 2003/4 home match against Tottenham signed the shirt, as well as manager Harry Redknapp and Pompey fan Andrew was delighted to win it.

But it has been stored away for the last three years and Andrew has been looking for a good cause which would benefit from the shirt being auctioned off.

advertisement If you would like to bid for the signed Portsmouth shirt the proceeds to go to the Gary Coombs Appeal then e mail newsdesk@andoveradvertiser.co.uk.

Meanwhile cheques have started coming in to the Andover Advertiser with a total of £75 contributed so far - and £242 from the charity duck race staged at the Town Mills at Easter has also been donated.

If you would like to to donate, cheques should be made payable to Brave Hearts SCAF and sent to Brave Hearts, 11 Vespasian Road, Roman Way, Andover, SP10 5JP.
