"Common Goal is about everyone who loves football coming together and doing their little bit to make the game – and society – better.

"For me that’s giving 1% of my salary to the movement and now, through this kit, fans can also show their support.

"There’s plenty of ways to get involved; the thing that really matters is that we all play our part to create a game we are all proud to be a part of."
