NEWCASTLE UNITED are auctioning off special match-issue shirts from the Carabao Cup final weekend at Wembley to raise funds for the Red Cross Earthquake Appeal.
Supporters can bid for the shirts, which are signed, feature embroidery and Carabao Cup sleeve patches and come with a certificate of authenticity, to raise money for the appeal, which was chosen in memory of former Newcastle player Christian Atsu, who tragically lost his life in Turkey's devastating earthquakes last month.
The Red Cross Earthquake Appeal helps the Turkish Red Crescent (Kizilay) and Syrian Arab Red Crescent emergency responders who have been working tirelessly to help people affected by the earthquakes, providing first aid and essentials like food, water, blankets and shelter.
Although the shirts were prepared for the match - Newcastle's first major final in 24 years - they were not used as the Magpies suffered a 2-0 defeat at Wembley.
The online auction can be accessed at this site - with bidding closing at 2pm on Saturday, April 1.
