Sir Alex Ferguson’s last piece of chewing gum has reportedly sold for
nearly £390,000, with all proceeds going to charity. A supporter appears
to have scraped up the infamous gum from The Hawthorns after
yesterday’s Fergie finale between his Manchester United side and West
Brom. The fan then put it on internet auction site eBay in a bid to land
some cash for charity, although no one can have foreseen it would have
brought in just shy of £400,000. Fergie has been a ravenous chewer over
the course of his 26 years in charge at United and would presumably
have got through a fair bit of gum during the crazy 5-5 draw which saw
his reign come to an end.
Imagine $600,000 for a used piece of chewing gum being auctioned as a "sporting" item on eBay!!!
