Bradley, from Blackhall Colliery, who was a huge Sunderland fan, fought a brave battle with neuroblastoma before passing away in July, aged six.

Proceeds from sales of the shirts will be donated to the Bradley Lowery Foundation and a fundraising drive to create a holiday home, Bradley’s Place, to give families with sick children an opportunity to spend time together.
