Burton continues to strengthen its relationship with the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK and in this all important football season they have recruited the help of the ever irrepressible James Corden. Burton has produced two limited edition T-shirts and a wristband, in the vital colours of the summer: Red & White.

Burton has committed to donating £1.50 for every T-Shirt sold by Burton and £1 for every wristband sold to the Bobby Moore Fund to further their research into bowel cancer, so customers can wear these items with pride knowing that they are doing their bit for a good cause.

Being an ardent football fan and in a league of his own James Corden is perfect for this collaboration. James was keen to offer his support not only to the England team but for the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK, as it is of the upmost importance with bowel cancer being the third most common cancer in the UK.

James loves the iconic tees that feature the unforgettable image of Bobby Moore holding aloft the World Cup trophy in 1966 when England last won the tournament beating West Germany in a 4-2 victory. Burton expects that football fans will love them too as they are not only great tees, but can help save a life as well.

The Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK raises vital funds for research into bowel cancer and increases public awareness of the disease. The fund was set up by Bobby's widow, Stephanie Moore MBE, after his death from the disease in 1993, at just 51.

The Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK tee is available in selected Burton stores and on-line.
