Rotary Watches - Leeds United Auction

BACK

Members of the Leeds United team were invited to paint plates for the auction, including Danny Mills, Robbie Keane, Alan Smith and captain, Rio Ferdinand. In addition the plates of Prince Naseem, Nick Hancock, Linford Christie and Kylie Minogue were also auctioned. Rio's footprint, worth millions on the pitch, appeared on his plate. The sale of Rio Ferdinand's plate at £3,300 netted the Rotary Turn Your Life Around campaign the highest amount for a single plate. A host of celebrity stars kindly turned out for the game and the auction including Coronation Street's Vera Duckworth (aka actress Liz Dawn). Celebrity chef Brian Turner whipped up the crowd to ensure bidding was brisk and generous. The post match auction was a fantastic event and raised over £20,500.
