Help find Maddy

Everton's first-team squad donned specially produced t-shirts appealing for help in the search for missing toddler Madeleine McCann ahead of Sunday's Premiership clash with Chelsea.

Madeleine, who turned four on Saturday, was abducted from her family apartment in Portugal 11 days ago.

Despite widespread medai attention and appeals by celebrities and sports stars, including Everton's Phil Neville, Manuel Fernandes and Nuno Valente, Madeleine's whereabouts are still not known.

Everton's players decided to wear the t-shirts appealing for help in the search for Madeleine in order to maintain public awareness of the situation.

A photo of Madeleine in an Everton shirt was published on the website last week and the plight of the McCann has captured the attention of Evertonians everywhere.

Fans at Stamford Bridge on Sunday displayed a banner pleading for Madeleine's safe return.

The international number for Crimestoppers is +44 1883 731 336. People with information about Madeleine can call anonymously.

A £1 million reward has been offered for the return of missing three-year-old Madeleine McCann as detectives hunt three prime suspects seen in a car with British numberplates.

Stephen Winyard, owner of the Stobo Castle spa in Scotland, said he was moved to offer the reward by photographs of Madeleine's distraught parents.
