22 Oct 2014

A Leicester City Home Shirt, which was signed by the 2014/2015 team, was auctioned on eBay to raise funds for local Hospice, LOROS.

The shirt was purchased by Kirby Muxloe 88 JFC under 9s (who are supporting LOROS for the 2014/2015 season) and the Leicester City Grassroots Team kindly got it signed for them.

It was bought by James Lingard for £150 and he has very kindly donated it back to LOROS to be auctioned at our annual ball on Saturday 8th November.

James said: "I have just won the Leicester city shirt on eBay, and I would like to donate it back to LOROS in memory of my Granddad, Morris Wilcox (known as Bill by his workmates).

"Granddad was treated by LOROS throughout last year and the beginning of this year until he passed away. He was looked after so well and nothing was ever too much trouble. I hope the shirt will raise even more funds for this wonderful local charity."
