The response to this so far has been far beyond what anyone really expected, so a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has shared, donated, or got in touch asking about the auction - we're all very grateful and this will make a real difference during these hard times.

We know that we've been inactive on here for quite some time now, but we'd just like to share this appeal to help our long-time friend and shirt afficionado Shakey! Check our the 'Shirts for Shakey' auction coming soon too w/ @gbauctionsltd justgiving.com/crowdfunding/s…

@sportinghistory @BradfordMDT @armymuseumsuk @GreenHowards @ArmySportsLTRY @NatlArmyMuseum @clakka7 @JoBoardman @The_NFC @RMRW_Brecon @LewisMoody7 Splendid series about sports collections and exhibitions.

Z is for.... Zaire! Worn by Scotland & Leeds legend Billy Brember against Zaire in 1974 - now of course known as the Democratic Republic of Congo. #AlphabetOfShirts

Y is for.... Yugoslavia! This shirt was worn by Nenad Stojkevic in the Spain '82 game against Northern Ireland, which also saw Norman Whiteside become the youngest player to take part in a World Cup match. #AlphabetOfShirts

Can also confirm for those doubting the reason Wales wore their yellow away shirts in Dublin on Sunday, it was actually 100% because of the colourblindness issue that would of been caused by Wales wearing red against Ireland’s green. #wales #cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #walesaway

X is for..... "XI" This shirt was worn by Rod Thomas as part of the Wales XI who faced Manchester United on 26th July 1969 in #Bangor to celebrate the Investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales. #AlphabetOfShirts #Wales

Can anyone help Jolyon? Rear is blank. Thanks in advance!

@Kappanitreal @FACupFactfile Not one I've come across personally but will RT to see if anyone can shed some light!

@FACupFactfile @The_NFC Please help me as I’m very curious @The_NFC

@FACupFactfile no idea how to find anything out for why this would be awarded or given, and I thought you may have a better idea, we got this from an ex England coach and have no idea why it was given to him

W is for.... Wembley! All of these shirts from the collection have been worn at the famous ground during an #FACup final match - the oldest dates from 1930! #AlphabetOfShirts #Wembley

V is for.... Valderrama! This #10 shirt was worn by 90s #Colombia icon Carlos Valderrama in a '94 World Cup warm up match against Northern Ireland! #AlphabetOfShirts

U is for...United! In this case, we're heading north of the border to #Dundee with this '87 UEFA Cup Final matchworn shirt from the collection! #AlphabetOfShirts

T is for... Testimonial! This pair come form the testimonial matches of Ian Hutchinson and John Aldridge! Who do you think was the most deserving player of a testimonial who never got one? #AlphabetOfShirts

@jaket1872 @KrisGold9 This one is on loan from us the the National Football Museum in Manchester.

@The_NFC @KrisGold9 Sure this jersey has a pride of place inside Ibrox.

S is for.... Scotland! Worn by Willie Waddell against France at Hampden in 1949, with its iconic Earl of Rosebery racing colours. #AlphabetOfShirts

R is for... Ray Clemence! The stunning blue shirt was worn by Ray during the #THFC centenary season, while the England shirt was issued to Ray as part of the '82 World Cup squad that same year. #AlphabetOfShirts

Q is for.... Qatar! Yes we know this is a Wales shirt, but it was worn in an away game against Qatar in Doha in 2000. We believe the player was the late, great Gary Speed. #AlphabetOfShirts

@stewartwaine Another Shilton shirt in green, but this one was worn in the '69 FA Cup final!

@The_NFC Wow that green gk shirt , Amazing not a colour until recently I associate with England goalkeeper shirts :)

P is for... Peter! Barnes, Broadbent, Lorimer, Shilton..... take your pick, we've got plenty! #AlphabetOfShirts

O is for.... Old! (I know...sorry! 🙄) This 90 year old shirt from our collection was worn by #Uruguay captain José Nasazzi in the 1930 World Cup final! #AlphabetOfShirts
