Very commendable and certainly an example to a lot of clubs that there are some things that are more important than egos and money.

We had camouflage tops once but kept losing them...couldn't find them if they fell off the washing line
Great idea and show of compassion.
Huddersfield have a Foundation that does amazing work for the community and charities....

The Sun has actually some of the best sports articles and reporting going around actually. It has to be good as that is part of the appeal to its target demographic.

Remember a comedian once pointed out the irony of England having a newspaper being called the Sun

Shirts being sold in club shop - proceeds to charity. Not announced yet but I would imagine they'll auction the players shirts.
