Auction Winner Presented Signed Shirt - Ipswich Town News
Academy schoolboy Ellis Murrell handed auction winner John Bailey his signed Town away shirt at Playford Road last week.
John’s winning bid for the shirt signed by the current first team squad was £200 but he kindly gave Ellis £250 when he presented it to him.
The auction was held to raise funds for the St Elizabeth Hospice. Ellis, who plays for Town’s U14s and U15s, lost two of his uncles, Brian Barratt and Fred Grimble, to cancer and both were looked after by the hospice.
