Football memorabilia for auction (good cause)

[rcgills]

One of the moderators of the Gillingham Rivals message board (posts on there under the name Brendan Place) very sadly lost his baby boy last month aged just 3 months. He's since then set about raising funds for FSID (Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths), and one of the ways he's doing that is through an auction night to be held at Gillingham FC on the 25th November.

There's a range of football memorabilia (a lot of it Gillingham, admittedly, but there's UEFA stuff from referee Steve Bennett, and items from Hearts and Celtic, among others), plus flights to Brussels, Amsterdam or Paris, a plane and pilot at your disposal for a day, or tickets to a sold out Magic Numbers gig. Also poker items donated by Joe Beevers for any poker players interested.

All details of the lots are at http://www.charliesauction.moonfruit.com/ (see the "Auction Catalogue" tab), along with details on how to bid, information on the FSID, an authorisation letter from the FSID confirming that funds are being raised on their behalf, etc.

All for a very good cause, so please have a look at the website, see if there's anything you like the look of. Thanks.

Should anyone not be interested in the auction items but still want to make a contribution, there's also a donation site set up through Justgiving.com

You don't even have to be a fan of British football, stuff there from Bayern Munich, Inter and Dynamo Kiev too.

Maybe Slick or Keemanan might be interested in the programme from *that* play-off final (item 10)
