YEOVIL Town are once again supporting the annual Royal British legion Poppy Appeal.

The players wore a special strip for the Coca-Cola League One clash with Southend United on Saturday, November 14, at Huish Park where their shirts were embroidered with a poppy.

The shirts are now being auctioned off with proceeds going towards the Poppy Appeal.

Organisers are hoping that each shirt will fetch at least £100.

Bids should be made to County Secretary John Prior at jprior@britishlegion.org.uk or by telephone to 01278-428457.

The minimum bid for each shirt will be £30 and all fans will be informed of the current highest bid when their own bid has been surpassed so that they can increase their bid as required.

Supporters have until midday on Monday, November 30, to make their bids after which the winners will be announced.

The shirts will not be framed but will be signed front and back by the respective player to show they are the authentic item.

County British Legion branch secretary, John Prior, himself a big Yeovil Town fan, is once again hoping to gain the support of fellow Glovers fans.
