This was one of those random bits of timely luck when Andy saw this on ebay a few weeks back. Thank you so much for this.I sponsored James Walker's shirt back in the day and my wife has been badgering me to get rid of it for ages.

I had it on eBay but the original buyer didn't pay or turn up to collect it.
I therefore relisted it and fortunately @Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset saw it and contacted me (not knowing that I was the same person he was already regularly in contact for the pre-Match thread when there's a SUEPA guest!).
I've withdrawn it from eBay and will be donating it to be auctioned off for James' benefit.
Is the auction on the day ? And biddings only of the day or accepting pre bids ?This was one of those random bits of timely luck when Andy saw this on ebay a few weeks back. Thank you so much for this.
I believe SUEPA are auctioning it at the Dave Smith event tomorrow evening. @Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset will confirm - I’m handing the framed shirt over to him before the game tomorrow.Is the auction on the day ? And biddings only of the day or accepting pre bids ?
Heartbreaking to hear and like many, I wasn't aware of him falling ill.
I started attending Blues games regularly in 2008 so he was a regular in my earliest years as a supporter.
Didn't score many but when he did, they were cracking goals. I seem to recall one against Orient in particular?
Will be attending the charity game without a doubt.

If you're not going tonight and want to bid then I don't know if Andy would accept a sealed maximum bid from you? @Suffolk Shrimper In DorsetIs the auction on the day ? And biddings only of the day or accepting pre bids ?
