A NORWEGIAN footballer was due to cycle through Sheffield United's ground today to ride away with a signed Blades football shirt for an international charity campaign.
Bjorn Heidenstrom is cycling from Oslo to South Africa, collecting shirts from clubs along the way.
They will be sewn together to create the world's largest signed football shirt to wave in the wind at next year's World Cup in South Africa.
On
his campaign to raise money and awareness of young refugees around the world, Bjorn will also be stopping off at the club he used to play for - Leyton Orient.
Bjorn was due to cycle through Bramall Lane at half-time during the Blades' game with Watford, where he will be presented with the shirt from United chief executive Jason Rockett.
