Harry Kane's World Cup shirt auction to fund community groceries
Harry Kane has donated his signed shirt from the England v Poland World Cup qualifier to Resurrected Bites for an auction to raise money for a community grocery project.
The Tottenham striker and England captain scored in the fixture which ended 1-1 on September 8.
Kane's shirt was signed by all of the players and also comes with a letter of authenticity.
Resurrected Bites usually takes in surplus food but this special donation was thanks to the team's relationship with Gareth Southgate's assistant manager Steve Holland.
Michelle Hayes, the founder of Resurrected Bites, said:

The auction is being held on the Resurrected Bites Facebook page, where people are invited to share their bids by commenting below the post.
Bidding will end at 8pm on Sunday, November 7. The auction started off at £100 and has already reached £340.
All of the money raised will go towards the community grocery project.
Resurrected Bites set up its first grocery at New Park Academy Community Hub but plans to open a second in Knaresborough in December.
At the community grocery people pay £5 a year to sign up as members. They are then entitled to pay £3, £5 or £9 depending on the size of their family, for items that would typically cost £30.
It stocks a wide range of tinned, fresh food and frozen food as well as toiletries, sanitary products and nappies in various sizes.
