SOCCER star Phil Neville took time out from training to help raise money for a local good cause.

The Manchester United and England defender, who lives in Crawshawbooth, donated one of his prized England shirts to raise cash for Tup Bridge Family Centre, in Rawtenstall.

The centre sold hundreds of raffle tickets for the shirt and Manchester United fans young and old descended on the centre in droves on Monday to meet Phil and be in with a chance of winning the shirt.

All proceeds from the raffle will go towards the centre's amenity fund.
