George Friend's Boro shirt proved to be the most popular as Boro auctioned off signed strips and raised more than £7,000 for charity.
Boro's players signed their shirts following the 0-0 draw with promotion-chasing Bournemouth in November last year.
The 35 shirts, some of which were match-worn, then went under the hammer as the club took part in Sky Bet's #BidToRemember auction in aid of the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.
The most expensive shirt belonged to popular full-back George Friend, which fetched an impressive £415, which helped towards the club raising £7,299 in total.
All the money raised will be used by The Royal British Legion to provide funding for vital services.
Sky Bet’s Head of Sponsorship, Edwin Martin said: “The response to the #BidToRemember shirt auction from fans all over the world has been absolutely incredible.
“We’ve had bids from China, America and all over Europe, and the amount raised will go a long way to helping members of the Armed Forces community by funding vital facilities such as the Battle Back Centre.”
