Eight-year-old Ted Dockray caught Jermaine Beckford's shirt at Wembley
Beckford had thrown his shirt into the crowd after scoring a hat-trick for Preston in the League One play-off final win over Swindon
An adult woman stole the shirt from Ted's grasp, leaving him 'in bits'
Beckford has called for the woman to return the shirt immediately
On-loan Preston striker Jermaine Beckford has called on the woman who grabbed his match shirt on Sunday to return it to the young boy it was intended for.

Beckford threw his shirt to a group of children in the Wembley crowd after scoring a hat-trick in the 4-0 win over Swindon in the League One play-off final.

But television footage showed it was quickly snatched by an adult. The child was later identified as eight-year-old Ted Dockray and a Facebook page was set up to locate the shirt, while there have also been reports that the item was offered for £1,500 on the Gumtree website. It is not known if it was a genuine advert.
 
Re: Woman nicks Preston shirt of kid

She's from Stretford and has had to close her facebook page down after getting a shit load of grief.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/mum-preston-north-end-shirt-9332276" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... rt-9332276</a>

Mum in Preston North End shirt row claims she has reported incident and social media abuse to police. Vickie Timbrell was captured by cameras making off with play-off hero Jermaine Beckford’s shirt after he threw it into a crowd of young fans during Preston’s 4-0 win over Swindon on Sunday

The mum at the centre of the Preston North End shirt row claims she has reported the incident - and subsequent social media abuse - to the police.

In another bizarre twist to the tale, Vickie Timbrell told the M.E.N. she was unwilling to speak about the incident any longer, having ‘reported the whole thing’ to the police’.

The M.E.N. has contacted Greater Manchester Police to find out the details of the complaint.

Lancashire Police, whose Football Intelligence Unit are understood to be examining the footage, had no information regarding a complaint from Mrs Timbrell.

London’s Metropolitan Police could not confirm whether she had been in touch with its officers.

Mrs Timbrell 31, was captured by cameras making off with play-off hero Jermaine Beckford’s shirt after he threw it into a crowd of young fans during Preston’s 4-0 win over Swindon on Sunday at Wembley.

The footage of her wrestling it from the hands of eight-year-old Ted Dockray, understood to be a pupil at South Failsworth Primary School, has since gone viral.

Thousands have blasted Mrs Timbrell for appearing to snatch the shirt from the football-mad youngster.

Some have leapt to her defence after she insisted her side of the story ‘will soon come out’.

But Mrs Timbrell, who has deleted her Facebook account following a torrent of social media abuse, told the M.E.N: “I’m going to leave it now. I’ve reported it to the police - the whole thing.”

The mum-of-two has since ceased contact with our reporters.

Ted’s aunt Claire has urged fans to leave Mrs Timbrell alone, insisting the family harbours no ill-feeling towards her.

She told a Preston North End fan page: “We don’t feel any bad feeling towards the woman and hope it calms down.

“[Ted] was a bit disappointed but he’s fine.

“My family would never want any trouble for the woman over a football shirt.

“I’m sure it will be a happy ending for everyone involved.”

On Monday, Mrs Timbrell told the M.E.N. she knows Ted and his parents and insisted she would tell her side of the story once she’d spoken to the family to clear the air.

She said: “People have made me out to be an absolute idiot. I will be speaking to the family, I actually know them, they’re friends.”

Mrs Timbrell also told the M.E.N’s sister paper the Mirror: “My side of the story will soon come out.”

But she has since made every effort to leave the spotlight and disappear from the public’s gaze.
 
why didn't the steward stop her, if she was smoking he would of been there, well if it was at city he would of been,

but the lad didn't get the shirt, he nicked it from another lad

easy just give it back to PNE and let them give it to the right kid or put it in the club Museum and give each kid a top
 
There were also reports that it went on Gumtree the same night. I think the asking price as quoted by Granada reports was 10k but the advert was quickly removed.

It appears the woman used her weight/age to take it off the lad. If that is correct she is a horrible despicable woman. Sadly the story is now dying down so we will probably never know if the lad gets it back.
 
The bloke who went off with the lad appeared to give it to the woman in the

Were any of them Preston fans?
 
preston have released a statement that the kid will get a stadium tour and the spare match shirt signed.

her side of the story will only be cringeworthy and she will wait till it all dies down to sell it, funny if she got nicked for theft :)
 
Saw it happen on the tv thought like most it was the lads
Mum, but now the story is out just do the decent thing give the lad the top back
It's not as if nobody knows her,her face has been shown clearly on every news show
Mind you didn't city try to get a allegedly stolen ball back from the QPR match, so I'm sure Preston could do the same

Just shown it on BBC NW tonight. Shameful behaviour and I'm glad they have just been shamed. Poor little lad looks up and says please before they force it from him. Despicable rats.

Where are the parents of the lad? Oh, and who's the bloke in the grey trackie, as he appears to get the top from the boy, and then walks away with him.

Anyway, storm in a teacup.

Make your mind up, I thought you didn't give a fuck.

Do you think it is acceptable behaviour to bully a little lad and steal a shirt off him.

Oh fucking behave yourself. I don't actually give a fuck, but thought the thread needed a nice PIC of the lady in question. It's a football top, and you're acting like someone has sexually abused the lad. Calm down.
 
got a feeling this is going to end up a non story.

she knows the lad and his family ,she helps the lad get the shirt in the first place and says to him ill look after it for you , shes away in London and will be going round to see the lad and the family when she gets back and give him the shirt then .

just my theory , as for the shirt on gumtree it was a hoax.

now back to my happy clapping
