The band who released a record in honour of Liverpool's Istanbul heroics have generously agreed to donate all proceeds from their single to the family of a Reds fan jailed in Bulgaria for a crime he insists he did not commit. 
Michael Shields, 18, was today sensationally found guilty of attempted murder and sentenced to 15 years in a Bulgarian prison - despite another man confessing to the crime.
 
The Wavertree student was arrested in the Golden Sands holiday resort four days after watching Liverpool win the European Cup in Turkey.
 
His plight has touched the hearts of Liverpudlians everywhere and The Trophy Boyz, who were in town today to promote their new single 'Du The Dudek', were shocked and saddened to hear of this latest twist in the case.
 
The four Liverpool supporting band members all instantly decided that any profits they make from the record would be pledged to Michael's family.
 
Neil Reed, director of Diablo Records and spokesman for The Trophy Boyz told Liverpoolfc.tv: "We'd like to pledge our full support to Michael's family and friends at this distressing time. The band are upset at the injustice of the case and feel it is really important that we try to help out in any way we can.
 
"We came to a unanimous agreement straight away that any profits from the single go towards the families legal costs or whatever other costs they might be incurring.
 
"Since arriving in Liverpool today the people of this city have been brilliant towards us and we see this as a way of paying them back. If we can now get the people of Liverpool supporting this single then they will be supporting the campaign to free Michael Shields.
 
"We don't know how much the single will make but if we can get it as high up the charts as possible then it will help raise awareness of Michael's plight on a national scale."
