“We know Football League club supporters to be hugely passionate people, who always throw their support behind the Poppy Appeal.

“At Sky Bet, we would like to thank the Sky Bet Championship clubs, who have agreed to do things differently this year, in recognition that, together, we can make a bigger difference than ever before.”

The signed matchworn shirts will be added to Sky Bet’s ebay account after today’s fixtures through until Monday November 10th.
