Liverpool Football Club have kindly donated this season's signed Torres shirt to Cambridge United Football Club to help raise funding for the Youth Development Programme and the Cambridge United Youth and Community Trust.
The auction ends today, so get bidding! The auction for this shirt can be found on Ebay here.
The auction for a Wolves shirt signed by Jody Craddock can be found here.
This is the third of many Premiership and Championship signed shirts donated by their respective clubs, including Chelsea, Fulham and Tottenham.
Director of Football Jez George will be walking 410 miles in 19 days from Wrexham to Wembley (via York, Mansfield, Rushden, Luton and Oxford) in a bid to highlight the injustice in youth funding and raise enough money to ensure the continued survival of our youth scheme.
As well as trying to raise money to protect this scheme Cambridge United are joining forces with six other Conference clubs, forming a group called Protecting Football's Future, to initiate change.
"If a full time Football Club runs a Youth Development Scheme which meets Governing Body Qualitative Criteria, access to funding should be available and player registration should be protected." - Mission Statement
