Popular Post mark359 Posted February 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hi, Firstly I know it’s a little unusual to see an advert for an eBay auction on here but this does have meaning behind it (and permission from the moderators) so please bear with me. As I'm sure a lot of you remember back in October 2011 forum member Paddy sadly passed away following an extremely courageous battle with a brain tumour. Since then there has been an incredible amount of fund raising going on in Pat’s name in order to try to raise money to support brain tumour research. For one of these fundraising events I purchased a shirt which the good folks at Aston Villa very kindly got signed for me in December. This shirt was used as a raffle prize during one of these fundraising days. The winner of the shirt very kindly asked me to put it up for auction for the same charity in order to try and raise some more money rather than keeping it for themselves. The shirt is from the 2012/2013 season but was signed in December 2013 by 16 players. I am afraid I cannot confirm exactly who has signed it but some of the names are easy to make out from the signatures and squad numbers. The shirt is listed in an eBay auction with a £0.99 starting price and is due to end at 20:13 on 09/02/2014. Please check it out and if you feel like making a donation to an amazing charity in Paddy’s name then it would be great if you made a bid. There is a picture of the shirt below and lots more on the auction. I also have a high resolution shot of each signature and if anyone would like to see any of these prior to placing a bid then please let me know.

mark359 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Is this open to residents outside the UK? If the bidder is from VillaTalk then I am happy for them to be from outside the UK. Obviously the postage will be a little higher though Thanks for all the bids and interest so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
