MORE than 100 lots have now been donated to the online auction raising money in memory of Sir Bobby Robson.
Football fans are being offered the chance to claim once-in-a-lifetime prizes including Champion’s League final tickets, a ball signed by Messi and Xavi and VIP tickets to the FIFA Ballon d’Or Awards in Zurich.
There are also trips to the World Snooker Final, Badminton Horse Trials, Newmarket Races and the McLaren Production Centre available in the auction, which closes on October 19.
The lots are all up for grabs in the annual Sir Bobby’s Online Auction, which will raise money for the cancer charity set up by the former Newcastle and England manager and East Anglia Children’s Hospices.
The auction has been organised by voluntary fundraiser Gina Long.
She said: “Words can’t express just how grateful we are for all the fantastic lots we’ve received.
“Football fans are spoilt for choice with this auction – from rubbing shoulders with the world’s greatest footballers on the red carpet at the FIFA Ballon d’Or Awards in Zurich, to meeting Harry Redknapp at QPR and Loftus Road directors box tickets – there really are some fabulous once in a life time opportunities to be had”.
