MK Dons defender Dean Lewington and striker Sam Baldock were at Morrisons Milton Keynes store today to sign up to the England 2018 FIFA World Cup™ bid, and to encourage the people of Milton Keynes to show their support for the bid by adding their signatures too.

Morrisons is this week launching a campaign to collect more than two million signatures in its stores across England, giving supporters the opportunity to back the bid. This will help demonstrate the strength of public enthusiasm for England to host the tournament, and to FIFA who will decide its destination in December 2010.

Anyone in Milton Keynes wishing to sign up to the bid can visit Morrisons stores in Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard to show their support, between now and September 2010.

Sam and Dean join staff at Morrisons to Back the Bid.

Mark Gunter, Group Retail Director at Morrisons, said: "We're sure that our customers would be delighted if the World Cup came to England in 2018. With our sporting store colleagues in Milton Keynes we are determined to demonstrate popular support for England's bid by delivering more than two million signatures, showing FIFA the country's passion and enthusiasm for hosting the world's biggest football spectacle."
