please log in to view this image Deano's medal will be auctioned by Baitson's tomorrow, it's only got an estimate of £1-1.5k, but I suspect it will go for far more.
It's for a cancer charity. Great cause. Weldone Deano. I agree with the above that our museum should bid for it.
Auctioneer thinks between £1k and £20k (all bases covered then) it should definitely be bought by the club, and put in a museum, with our other trophies. They renamed our trophy Cabinet.....the cabinet lol
I don't really get it.. If he wants to donate to charity he could just give them a few grand or something.. Why sell something that surely means so much? I know selling a medal seems more selfless than simply giving cash but at the end of the day the charity would still get money.. that things priceless, if I was him I'd want to wear it on my deathbed
I'd be surprised if it didn't get to £10k, if I wasn't in London tomorrow, I go along, just on the off-chance that no-one else did.
JayJay probably the best player to ever have played for us, like you say shame he was crocked all the time
There does seem to be something odd about Dean auctioning his medal. I can understand it is a very worthy charity. But it's the bit about,some of it's for his kids.Im sure his kids want for nothing. Could this be another daily fail misreport ? With the money going to children with cancer or something.
Deano was definitely quoted as saying he wanted to give most of it to charity, with a bit going to his kids, which does seem a bit odd.
was anyone there this morning that knows how much it went for?? or who it went 2? im hoping Mr Allam put in a cheeky bid...
Threads now merged. It was not due go under the hammer until after midday, so it might not have gone yet, I assume someone from the Fail will tweet the amount once it's sold. I've tweeted Phil Buckingham to see if he's there.
