Lifetime Leicester City fan and Jamie Vardy lookalike Lee ‘Chappy’ Chapman is giving you the chance to win a Community Shield ticket while supporting local charity, LOROS.

Postman turned lookalike Lee, has donated the ticket shortly after signing up to get involved with the Hospice’s Undiedogs Campaign.

Inspired by Gary Lineker’s promise to present the first Match of the Day next football season in pants, the campaign sees individuals and teams promising to pose in specially designed boxers when a certain fundraising target is met for LOROS.

People can be in with the chance of winning the Community Shield ticket by donating £5 to the campaign by visiting the JustGiving/undiedogscom

Lee, who is an LCFC season ticket holder, said: "I wanted to donate my Community Shield ticket because I know they are hard for Leicester City fans to get hold of and at the same time I wanted to raise awareness of LOROS and raise much needed money for a charity close to my heart."

The match takes place on Sunday 7th August at Wembley Stadium and is between Premiership Champions Leicester and FA Cup winners Manchester United.

LOROS Fundraiser Dave Nicklin, said: “We are very grateful to Lee for donating his Community Shield ticket.

“Not only will it help raise money for the Undiedogs campaign and vital funds for LOROS, it could be all the more fitting as it is rumoured that Gary will finally fulfil his ‘pant promise’ in the Community Shield episode of Match of the Day.”

Also signed up for the Undiedogs campaign are LOROS Patron and Hollyoaks star Charlie Clapham, former Foxes captain Matt Elliott, former snooker player Willie Thorne, former Leicestershire cricketer Paul Nixon, former Leicester Tigers and England player George Chuter, Leicester Riders basketballer Tyler Bernardini and Leicester’s very own boxing binman, Rendall Munroe.

You must be 16 or older to enter and must tick the share contact information box to allow LOROS to inform you if you are the competition winner.

The winner will be drawn at random from those people who have donated £5 on the JustGiving page. The draw will take place on Wednesday 3rd August at 4pm and the winner will be notified by email and must reply by 12pm on Thursday 4th August. The winner will receive one ticket to the Community Shield and must arrange their own transport.

If you don’t want to enter the competition but would still like to donate to the campaign, you can by either texting ‘PANT10’ plus your amount to 70070 (e.g. ‘PANT10 £10’), online by visiting loros.co.uk/undiedogs, or by ringing (0116) 231 8431 and quoting Undiedogs.
