Piers Morgan vows to bid £10,000 for Thierry Henry's Arsenal shirt in coronavirus fundraiser

Piers Morgan promised to bid £10,000 as part of fundraising efforts for NHS charities.

The gesture was in response to an auction started by footballing legend Robbie Savage.

The footballer has been raising money to contribute to the NHS Charities Covid-19 Urgent Appeal as well as 250 other charity groups.

As part of the event, sporting ace Thierry Henry agreed to auction his 100th Arsenal goal shirt as the prize.

"Speaking to @ThierryHenry reps this week, we have agreed to Auction his 100th @Arsenal Goal Shirt! Money raised will go to NHS Charities Together - which works with 250 NHS charities & are currently running the @NHSuk Charities Covid-19 Urgent Appeal!" Robbie wrote on Twitter.

"Brilliant idea... well done mate. I’ll bid £10,000," Piers responded on social media.

The auction has been one of the many fundraising efforts currently taking place across the globe in a bid to support people during the coronavirus pandemic.

At the end of March, Piers also vowed to pay the parking tickets of all NHS staff.

The outspoken personality has spiralled into a series of furious rants about emergency staff workers being hit by penalties in hospital car parks.
