Gloves worn during a 24-hour shootout to raise money for a cancer charity are up for auction.
The event was organised for Cure Leukaemia following Wolves keeper Carl Ikeme’s diagnosis with the disease.
Pairs of gloves signed by the club’s other keepers – John Ruddy, Harry Burgoyne and Will Norris – are up for auction to raise more funds for the charity.
People can bid for the gloves on Twitter or Facebook by contacting shootout organiser Steve Plant before Friday.
He said he has been ‘gobsmacked’ by the support for the fundraiser.
Plant said: “We’ve got the gloves but also lots of other stuff has been donated.
“People keep bringing stuff to us and saying ‘auction this and put it into the fund’.
“The response from people has been great.
“The three keepers signed the gloves which were specially made for the penalty shootout and donated to us.
“We’ve also had shirts sent in to us from other clubs like Norwich and Barnsley with ‘Ikeme 1’ on the back which they’ve donated for the auction.
“Also people that have had old shirts for years are sending them in to try to earn something for the fund.
“I’ve been gobsmacked by how much support we’ve had so far – we’ve got over £13,000 for Cure Leukaemia and it’s still coming in.”
