Supporting Alzheimer's Research UK For A Cure
PLAYER-WORN SHIRTS - Starting Bid: £50
This is a special opportunity to bid for a unique, player-worn Oldham Athletic shirt whilst supporting chairman, Frank Rothwell, in raising funds for Alzheimer’s Research UK.
This one-off shirt will be used by the individual player for the home fixture against Hartlepool United. Whilst the game is taking place, Frank will be continuing to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean.
The shirt is a different colour from usual and will also bear the name of Alzheimer’s Research across the front.
The back of the shirt will be nameless, to raise awareness of the fact that only one in two people know that dementia causes memory loss. The shirt will also be signed by the individual player.
