MANAGER’S MEMORABILIA UP FOR SALE

Colchester United organised an «everything must go» internet sale of monogrammed kit left behind by former boss Steve Whitton. With the club as a player and manager for nine years Whitton left in 2003 without managing them to promotion but in danger of relegation from the English league Second Division. Colchester’s online auction took bids for Whitton’s training kit, including trousers, shorts, socks and rain jacket – all complete with the «SW» initials.
