The top he wore in the 3-0 victory over Sheffield United is up for grabs, with tickets costing £10.

Money raised will be added to the Wolves former players' fund for the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, with the overall target being £50,000.

"Everyone knows how much I enjoyed my time at Wolves, and that day was one of those memories I will never forget. The fans also made it the day it was with so many thousands at the Millennium Stadium creating a brilliant atmosphere," said Lescott.

“The shirt I wore that day is obviously very special to me, but when I heard about this effort from former players and staff to help the NHS in Wolverhampton, it felt like the right time to pass it on."

Paintings of Adama Traore by programme artist Louise Cobbold are also being raffled off.
