Mo Salah’s match-worn and signed shirt from Liverpool’s recent 2–0 win over Aston Villa, the game in which the Egyptian striker scored his 250th goal for the Merseyside club, has raised over £20,000 for the Royal British Legion after selling for £21,438 on MatchWornShirt.com.
Salah’s nonchalant strike on November 1 cemented his place among Liverpool’s all-time greats, joining Ian Rush, Roger Hunt, Gordon Hodgson, and Billy Liddell as one of only five players ever to reach the 250-goal milestone for the club.
Salah is widely regarded on Merseyside as one of the best players of his generation and one of the greatest wingers of all time, even though Liverpool frequently play him up top rather than on the wing. He is the all-time top foreign goalscorer in the Premier League and the all-time top African goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League.

Salah has to date won two Premier League titles with Liverpool since his arrival in the North West in 2017, along with an FA Cup in 2022 and the League Cup in 2022 and 2024, although he has thus far failed to convert his club success to the international sphere, with two runner-up spots in the Africa Cup of Nations his best results for Egypt so far, in 2017 and 2021.
Liverpool currently sit eighth in the Prmeier League following last weekend’s 3-0 drubbing by Manchester City, one place below the currently dreadful Manchester United, and eight points off early leaders Arsenal, which has had some fans questioning whether new manager Arne Slot is actually the genius they hailed him as last season, when the club unexpectedly picked up the league title under the new appointee.
Salah’s shirt, worn during Liverpool’s annual Remembrance Day fixture last week, features the club’s poppy-emblazoned design with all net proceeds going directly to the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.
