A life-long collector of football kits has donated more than 100 of rare and unusual shirts to the Fircroft Trust Building Potential Appeal.

Chelsea fan David Stanley Scott, 56, started picking up the kits as a child but wanted to support the charity’s goal of keeping his group of vulnerable adults together.

He has built up a collection which includes everything from the Kevin Keegan style England kit, the garish yellow Tottenham Hotspur strip of the 1990s and AC Milan and Juventus kits.

Almost every top flight club (and Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea!) are featured, with some in home and away colours in several successive years.

Kingstonian FC regular Mr Scott, who recently moved into one of the Fircroft Trust run sheltered homes, said: "I was looking for someone to give away my shirts to, they must be worth at least £500.

"I’m not too sorry to see them go. I buy the new Chelsea shirt evey year and I have got another 250 at home."

Any money from selling the shirts to other collectors will go towards the £1m needed to pay for a brand new home on the site of the derelict White Hart Pub in Chessington.

Fircroft Trust has also been given a set of diamond earrings worth £1,800.
