Preston North End's Jermaine Beckford has replaced a shirt that was swiped from the clutches of a young supporter following the striker's hat-trick heroics at Wembley last weekend.
Beckford threw his shirt into the crowd while being substituted in the second half of his side's 4-0 win over Swindon Town in the League One playoff final last Sunday.
TV cameras showed eight-year-old Ted Dockray looking distressed as a woman, later named as Vickie Timbrell, took the shirt from the boy's hands.
After the incident was widely reported, Preston decided to get in touch with Ted and arranged a face-to-face meeting with Beckford, who handed over a new shirt and joined the youngster on a tour of the stadium at Deepdale.
Shortly after the match, an ad on Gumtree reportedly placed the shirt for sale at £1,500, but it was later removed.
