Bid For Players' Shirts
Monday 12 November 2012 15:01
You could be the proud owner of a rare piece of Fulham memorabilia as we have put the players' match-worn shirts from Saturday's game with Arsenal on eBay to raise money for The Royal British Legion.
The shirts have each been signed by the relevant player, on both the front and back, and they feature a poppy on the chest in honour of Remembrance Day.
The shirts will remain on eBay until Monday 19th November, so get bidding today for your chance to win a one of a kind piece of Fulham kit. Just follow this link to be directed to the relevant eBay page.
100 percent of the final sale price will be donated to The Royal British Legion. The Royal British Legion safeguards the welfare, interests and memory of those who are serving or who have served in the Armed Forces. They are one of the UK's largest membership organisations and are recognised as custodians of Remembrance. The Royal British Legion also runs the annual Poppy Appeal.

What a great idea. I shall have a look on EBay but money is tight at the moment. Well done LBNo11.
Great idea. Would love Berba's shirt but it's already twice the price of Kaca's in second place!
Good stuff :clap_hands:
Blimey - Berba is on £560 already.
For £500 less, you can get Richardson's shirt... :dft011:
Cracking idea, well done Fulham. And good luck to all bidders
I had Kaca's on 100 quid. Now I'm out of the contest.
Six days to go so God knows how much they will be by then.
Would not be surprised to see that Berba shirt go for about £3k.
Senderos is cheap !!!
They did this last year and I had Gecov's up until about an hour before the bidding closed! Berba's is going to go for loads. All for a good cause too..
It will be interesting to see the final price of each shirt relative to each other. Would it be fair to say it reflects on how much each player is loved by the fans or simply each player's marketability.
If I were in Fulham merchandising, I'd use this information as a yardstick for creating new products.
Anyway, well done Fulham for a great idea.
Great idea .
We should have some fun tracking how much will be raised by this .
If only to keep it top of mind and get the max for a very good cause .
I will open with £20,000 total
Berba highest with £2500
Stockdale lowest with £300

Current
Total £3343

Lowest Rodellega / Ancient Greek / Senderos £102
I looked at who was bidding for Berbatov and one of them seems to be a proffesional sports memorabilia collector/seller. Suspect its going to be around the 2.5 mark and the cheapest will be around 300/350
Berbatov's shirt now £940.00...got to get to a grand...
Berba's smashing this auction!!
Wow... £1120 now.

"Ruiz" has had the most bids...with 42...
This auction still has 5 days to go...
How much is Duff's at now? I've only got the Martin Jol one i won. I'd love Damien's.
By the way do you think they were washed first?

This is a conundrum. I've always wondered what you do if you get given/catch a player's shirt after a match.
Should you wash it? It's going to be pretty smelly and gross but isn't that the point of a match worn shirt? I'd be tempted to air it and then frame it, but might it go mouldy if something if it's unclean?

Doesn't the grass stains and such make it more valuable ???, authentication markers if you like
and wouldn't you frame it ???
I wonder if the players are bidding on their own shirts ??? If I was a player I think I would !!!!

Not 100% sure but don't the players have access to 3 x shirts per game...
Three shirts with poppies ...really ??
I would bid on my shirt, to drive the price up !! ........................ I'm a prideful creature and I am assuming some of the players are also. I wouldn't mind getting Sidwell's shirt, I am glad to see there are some bids for Stockdale's shirt
Richardson's one has to be a bargain, never even got dirty or sweaty
I wouldn't wash it. If it had been signed then that might wash out or smudge. My Martin Jol shirt is packaged up in tissue paper. I might put in a last minute bid for Damian's if the price isn't too high, i expect it will be by the end of the auction though.
If you get fed up with the Jol shirt you could always give it to the local scout group as a tent :011:
I'm currently the highest bidder for the Mark Schwarzer shirt ! Blow the whistle ref !!!! oztralian

Mr Riversider you've been conned. There isn't a Schwarzer shirt (he wears a jumper). :005:

Actually it's only a large. Not sure how he actually got it over his head!! Think they just got him to sign a shirt they thought would fit me

Well, in that case I am going to bid on the Senderos shirt, it must be still in the sealed pack
or at the very least have the fold marks
Berba is £1800
Crazy money!
Noticed that the signed jimmy Bullard shirt has only managed ten pound fifty at the moment though!! Lol

Senderos is currently the cheapest option at £141 !
Senderos is currently the cheapest option at £141 !
Is that for his shirt or transfer fee?
Berba clearly out front £1800 - nobody will catch him
But the battle at the bottom is much more interesting . Currently Petric and Riether at £150 . I would have predicted neither of these to be there
They have signed Dempsey shirt now...thats taking the piss really. £41

Kept my Stoke away Simon Davies shirt untouched from the game. The grass stains are the most authentic part!

...I'll echo that, £6,906 to the Royal British Legion is an excellent conclusion.. :Haynes The Maestro:
Berba shirt has been relisted.
And Riise now.
Is this because people have put in false bids to up the price and then got stuck with being the final bid?

Usually it was buyers friends who did this, but with introduction of bidders history this has mainly stopped, cannot see the club pushing priceup
