Former players and celebrity supporters recall their their favourite football memories and first football shirt

Alan Shearer recalls some his best football memories ( )

From Paul Gascoigne's tears to Manchester United's treble winning season, footballers and famous fans recall some of their best football memories and favourite football shirts in a book to support two charities.

The collection, which features interviews with Alan Shearer, Dwight Yorke, Nathaniel Chalobah, Lucy Bronze and Josh Widdicombe, is part of the 'Your First Football Shirt' illustrated book, self-published by Football Shirt Collective.

All profits from the book will be donated to two charities: CALM, a charity launched in March 2006 as a campaign to reducing suicide rates among men, and Willow, a charity foundation set up by former Arsenal footballer and BBC commentator former Bob Wilson in memory of his daughter, Anna, who died of cancer aged 31.

More details about the book and charities is available on the Football Shirt Collective website.
