Heroes.<\/p>\n<p>The Hereford Times reports former defender Ian Rodgerson has teamed up with The Cotterell Arms to launch an auction of sporting goods for the not-for-profit organisation.<\/p>\n<p>According to the news provider, a number of Premier League football teams &ndash; such as Arsenal, West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle &ndash; have offered signed shirts for the cause.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the auction will also include a Gloucester Rugby jersey, a signed Nick Faldo golf glove and a Gladstone Small cricket shirt.<\/p>\n<p>This follows similar charitable work carried out by the venue for Help for Heroes that took place last year in the form of a street party and various other events, which raised &pound;1,500.<\/p>\n<p>The charity was formed in October 2007 by Bryn and Emma Parry and a group of friends and aims to support those wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\"
