CEO at Graham Budd Auctions, Adam Gascgoine, said: “One thing these events always tend to throw up is the unexpected, so we are really looking forward to seeing just what the public in Sheffield have got lurking in their attics.”
On what they are looking for, Adam stated: “We’re on a hunt to find items relating to all 50 clubs that have competed in the Premier League.
"But not just any items.
