I was lucky enough to attend the Football Hall of Fame Awards on Thursday 15th November.
What a night! Football's megastars were there - both legends of yesteryear and today's stars - including Nobby Stiles, Glenn Hoddle, Mark Hughes and Graeme Souness. Previous inductees into this world class hall of fame were also there including Sir Bobby Charlton. The event was at Manchester Uniteds Old Trafford stadium and was truly a night to remember.
Football fan though I am, I was excited by tales of previous guests of the event selling autographed programs from this National Football Museum event for hundreds of pounds! I couldn't resist this experiement then - I started tracking down the likes of Sir Bobby Charlton, Nobby Stiles and Graeme Souness for their autographs! They were all perfect gentlemen and signed my program - giving me the opportunity to auction this incredibly rare item and see how much I can raise. Having two of Manchester United's Busby Babes on the one item of football memorabilia must mean this is worth a fortune to a collector - Bobby Charlton and Nobby Stiles were true gents to sign this.
My thanks to all those who made this a great night. I am donating a percentage of the sale to Sport Relief and depending on how much I raise will look at other woprthy charities to contribte to. The item is listed here on Ebay for 10 days
