THE North-East’s two biggest football clubs have contributed prizes to a charity auction.

Newcastle and Sunderland have both offered up behind-the-scenes tours of their grounds as prizes to go under the hammer in Sir Bobby’s Online Auction.

The annual auction raises money for four charities, including the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.

Now in its fourth year, the auction features more than140 different lots including personal donations from Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Wayne Rooney and Andre Villas-Boas, as well as prizes from Sir Bobby’s former clubs, Ipswich Town, PSV Eindhoven and Barcelona.

Newcastle United has now donated a ‘behind-the-scenes’ match day experience for four people as the club takes on Bournemouth at St James’ Park in March, including meeting the players before kick-off.

Rivals Sunderland have donated a tour of the Stadium of Light, guided by club legends Jimmy Montgomery and Kevin Ball, followed by lunch in the boardroom.

The lot also includes a shirt signed by Sam Allardyce and the first team squad, and a framed team photo.

Black Cats’ fans will also be interested in Lot 121, donated by LG, which is a chance to attend the Boxing Day fixture between Manchester City and Sunderland.

Gina Long is the auction founder and says: “We’ve been absolutely stunned by the incredible prizes we’ve received for this year’s auction, especially from the football community.

“It says everything about how Sir Bobby is regarded within the game and we’re very proud to have the support of so many clubs and football organisations.
