FOOTBALL fans on Teesside are being asked to hand over their old strips for charity.
DHL Express has linked up with BBC Radio Five Live's football shirt amnesty to collect old and unused shirts now the football season has come to an end.
The kits will then be shipped to schools, community projects and sports teams in Southern Africa as part of this year's Sports Relief campaign.
Famous shirts are also being collected and auctioned to raise money for the charity. Donors so far include Chelsea's Mario Melchiot, England cricketers Andrew Flintoff and Mark Butcher, and former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton.
