West Ham United will donate close to £60,000 to charity after auctioning match worn items from their recent Premier League match against Wolves.
The auction took place after Michail Antonio’s road traffic accident and the money raised will be equally split between the NHS and Air Ambulances UK Charity.
Signed walk-out tops and every match-worn shirt from the Wolves fixture were auctioned, which fetched in £29,613 – which the Club’s board matched, to bring the final total to £59,226.
West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen said: “It’s been special to see the West Ham family and the wider football community come together in support of Mic over the last month.
“We are all grateful for the care that both the NHS and Air Ambulances UK have given to Mic during a challenging time for him and his family, and for what they continue to do every single day for people around the country.
“Pulling together during difficult times is what being a part of West Ham United is all about and on behalf of the team, I want to thank everyone for helping us to raise an incredible amount of money for two great causes.”
