St. Philomena's Church, Winchburgh - Auction

[frances.stewart]

Hi there

We are organising an auction to raise money for our Church Roof fund. Our Church is a massive part of our local community and is the base for a number of charitable organisations including the St. Vincent de Paul.

We have a number of items to auction, two of which may be of interest to Hibs fans. We have Liam Henderson's boots, boots he wore in the amazing Scottish Cup Final in May 2016. The boots are signed and can be authenticated by Liam himself. The second item we've acquired from a parishioner is a number 11 Hibs jersey from season 79/80, worn by George Best. Tom, the Club historian, is able to authenticate the jersey as a club Jersey from this season. We are holding an auction of these items as well as others in St. Philomena's Church Hall on Sunday 9th April at 12.45p.m. It would be great if any Hibs fans could attend. If you are unable to attend the auction and would like a bid to be considered in advance, please message me on this forum.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and have a great night!

Liam Hendersons boot should be in a glass case in Easter road stadium.

Liams shirt made about £7000 for sick kids apparently. So his boots should deliver a packet

Potential fly in the ointment Francis. Hibs are due to play Morton on the Saturday. There is an outside potential maybe for that game to be moved to the Sunday for television. This may have an effect on the day how much these particular items would raise. More if a chance of it being moved to the Friday night on Alba I would think.
Anyone know for sure if Sky or BT Sports are likely to want a possible Championship decider or indeed if the actually can cintracturally.

Thanks so much for the advice. Hopefully the game won't be moved to the Sunday but happy to take bids in advance of the day from people also if the game is then! Much appreciated and have a great day!
