For fans old enough to remember, the 2003 play-off final victory will forever be one of their most treasured memories.

The team led by Dave Jones were 3-0 up against Sheffield United by half-time with goalkeeper Matt Murray saving a penalty in the second.

Fundraiser Mandy Catchpole was fortunate enough to receive a shirt signed by all eleven players who started the match at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

Now she is inviting bids for the shirt with the money to be given to Wolverhampton-based Promise Dreams.

Mandy, from Wolverhampton, said: "It was Matt Murray who sorted out the shirt for me. There are some great names on there like Joleon Lescott and Denis Irwin.

"There should be someone out there who will find it fascinating."

Anyone interested in buying the shirt should contact Promise Dreams giving a price they are willing to pay.

The charity can be reached by email, at info@promisedreams.co.uk, or on 01902 212451.
