Get involved in Football Shirt Friday
Friday 22 April

Hunt out that retro classic, pull on this season’s kit or brave the challenge of wearing a rival shirt with your colleagues, family and friends and let’s beat bowel cancer together.

With special significance around the 50th anniversary of Bobby Moore lifting the World Cup, we are fully supporting ‘Football Shirt Friday’ this week, a fund-raising day run by the Bobby Moore Fund.

It’s the day of the year where everyone’s encouraged to wear their football shirts to work – and donate £2 to help beat bowel cancer, the illness which ended World Cup-winning captain Bobby Moore’s life at just 51.

The FA has supported ‘Football Shirt Friday’ every year, but is extending its support to mark the anniversary of England’s World Cup win and we want fans to get involved as much as possible.

All England Supporters Club members are encouraged to share your pictures with us on our online gallery here, and you could win a pair of tickets to your choice of England's upcoming pre-Euro 2016 internationals against Turkey, Australia or Portugal.

All FA staff at its Wembley and St. George’s Park will be encouraged to get involed and wear their football shirts to work too. As the stadium giant public-facing screen will show on Friday, even the stadium will wear a shirt.

“No matter who you support, our only opposition on this day is bowel cancer,” says FA chief executive Martin Glenn. “Bowel cancer is the second biggest killing cancer and 44 people every day die of bowel cancer in the UK, the equivalent to four football teams.

“So let’s show bowel cancer the red card and make Bobby proud. Dig out your football shirt for 22 April and wear it with pride.”

Bobby’s wife Stephanie Moore MBE set up the Bobby Moore Fund in partnership with Cancer Research UK to raise money for research into the disease.

To donate £2*, just text Goal002 to 70070 – or to donate online, visit www.FootballShirtFriday.org
