Hundreds of football shirts left in tribute to the late Sir Bobby Robson have been handed out to youngsters in South Africa.

Almost 5,000 shirts and scarves were left by fans at St James' Park after the former Newcastle and England manager's death last July.

They were donated to charities working with children in South Africa, eastern Europe and Asia.

The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation said it wanted the tributes to spread a love of the game among disadvantaged people across the world.

Sir Bobby's son son Mark gave shirts to youngsters in Kibera to mark the start of the World Cup.

He said: "It's absolutely fantastic to see all these kids here.

"You can see by the big smiles on their faces how pleased they are to receive the shirts.

"My father would have loved to have seen this. So many shirts were left and they couldn't have been put to better use."

Three charities, Coaches Across Continents, KitAid and the RAF's Taking Football to Africa and Beyond Appeal, have been distributing the shirts around the world.

All the shirts were laundered free of charge by Sunlight Laundry at Bishop Auckland in County Durham.
