SCOTS tennis ace Andy Murray is flogging his old match shirts in a bid to raise thousands of pounds for a malaria charity.
The World number four – who was recently named British player of the year – is selling 100 of his Fred Perry shirts for just £15 each after ditching the firm for a multi-million pound deal with Adidas.
And, for every shirt sold through the 22-year-old’s website, charity Malaria No More will buy three nets to save African kids from mosquitoes passing on the deadly disease.
Murray said: “This is the first global charity that I have been involved with in this capacity and it was an easy decision.
“Malaria is completely preventable, but yet it still kills more children in Africa than any other disease. We can change this.
“It is a huge opportunity and I’m urging the UK to get behind Malaria No More.”
The shirts will go on sale on Murray’s official website on December 21 and a rush by fans to get their hands on the famous threads is expected.
