The famous beach ball that allowed Sunderland striker
Darren Bent to net the only goal against Liverpool last month is
being auctioned off for charity.
Newspaper the News of the World won a fierce bidding
war to secure the inflatable sphere - thrown on to the pitch by a
Liverpool fan - which caused mass controversy at the Stadium of
Light on October 17 after the former Tottenham Hotspur forward's
fifth-minute effort deflected in off it.
The publication has donated the ball to the Alder Hey
Imagine Appeal after obtaining it from a Reds'
supporter.
The auction opened at 12pm on Saturday November 9 on eBay and
will run for seven days.
