Cambuur manager Plat helps De Miguel family with heartwarming auction

SC Cambuur manager Johan Plat is auctioning a CD Castellón shirt to raise funds for the family of Jesús de Miguel, a former player who died last week following a collision.

Johan Plat, manager of SC Cambuur, is auctioning a CD Castellón shirt to support the family of Jesús de Miguel, a player who recently died after a hard collision. De Miguel played for Castellón when Plat was assistant coach there under Dick Schreuder.

Plat announced the initiative ahead of Cambuur's match against PSV on Sunday, describing the news as "an enormous shock" to start his week. The shirt was given to Plat by De Miguel after Cambuur's promotion season. "This is the least I can do for his family," Plat said. "I want at least 1000 euros, otherwise I'll keep it myself." At the time of writing, the highest bid stood at 970 euros.
