Oxford United’s signed poppy shirts from Reading derby win up for auction

Published on

Match-worn Oxford United shirts from a notable derby victory are available through a series of auctions, with proceeds set to benefit the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.

The playing shirts were used in Oxford’s 2-0 home victory over Reading at the Kassam Stadium.

The result represented Oxford’s first success against Reading for more than 25 years.

Second-half substitutes Gatlin O’Donkor and Mo Missanga provided the scoring.

Funds raised through the auctions will support serving and former members of the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force, as well as veterans and their families.

The initial auction is scheduled to open on November 5 at 1pm and close on November 8 at 7pm.

A second auction will begin on November 12 at 1pm.

Registered Oxford United supporters can access their Yellows Account and submit bids through the club’s auction system.

Successful bidders will be required to complete their purchases within three days.

The Royal British Legion says its work depends entirely on public backing, with donations playing a significant part in allowing it to continue supporting members of the armed forces, veterans and families.
