Afonso Alves: Charity auction winner

Congratulations to Middlesbrough fan, Alan Murray who will shortly become the proud owner of the shirt in which Afonso scored his first goals in English football – a double against Manchester United.

Alan won Afonso’s charity auction with a bid of 300 euros, which will all be going direct to the locally based Daisy Chain charity, who support kids with autism.

Afonso will be signing the shirt with a personal dedication for Alan, who hails from Yarm, Teesside, just down the road from the club.

"I entered the auction as I am a big Boro fan and I collect shirts signed by the players,” Alan tells Fobazo.

“It was a great opportunity to get a shirt signed by Afonso Alves and help out a fantastic charity in the process. It was a great surprise to hear about winning.

Alan has a fine track record of using his passion for Boro to help a good cause. He and three friends recently did a sponsored slim for the Middlesbrough Disabled Supporters association.

Between them, they managed to lose 10 stone 9 pounds in just three months and raised a massive £8000. He is pictured above with his old Boro shirt, from his less streamlined days.
