Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Sorry if this has been mentioned before but it is for a worthy cause. This year as with last year Radio 5 are holding a shirt amnesty for fans to get rid of their old football shirts which are then sent off to several African countries. Last year 25000 shirts were collected and this year they are going for even more. It doesn't matter how old the shirt is, as long as it is still wearable-even if it is no longer in fashion in England. Below is the link to the site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/sport/shirtamnesty04.shtml Mods please don't move this post off the general city forum as it is for a good cause and while not exactly city orientated it will probably be of interest to many fans.

22A Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 If anyone is able to donate old shirts it will help spread the City gospel. A pair of 20 year olds went from here to carry out some projects in a rural part of Uganda two years ago. Walking through one village, the local children shouted "Mazungi, mazungi". This is the Swahili word for white man as these two Brits were the first white men the children had ever seen. The next day all the children had to wear something red to school and one of them turned up in a Man U shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
