A PIECE of memorabilia which celebrates the life of one of the country's greatest sportsmen is to be auctioned for charity.

The signed, framed photograph of Sir Henry Cooper will be auctioned off tomorrow (FRI) as part of the Darlington Mayor's Charity Golf Day.

The picture has been donated by Wonderland Memorabilia, which also supports the Darlington Mayor's Ball.

It will be auctioned in support of the Darlington and District Talking Newspaper and St Teresa's Hospice.

The mayor, Coun Lee Vasey said: "What a lovely opportunity for someone to own a piece of history that celebrates one of our greatest sportsmen."

There are still places available on the charity golf day, especially for women's teams.

Anybody interested in taking part can call 01325-388411 to register.
