Soccer Extreme : This is the infamous red beach ball that cost Liverpool FC a shock defeat to Sunderland last month.
The News of the World won a fierce bidding war with rival media organisations to secure the red ball, which caused a fluke goal after it was thrown onto the pitch by a young fan and deflected a shot by Darrent Bent.
The newspaper has donated the ball to the Alder Hey Imagine Appeal after obtaining it from Liverpool fan Wayne Bate, 41, who asked a steward for it for his four year old son.
Wayne from Thirsk in North Yorkshire said: "We were both stunned by the goal and couldn't believe what had happened. We were in the front row and I asked a steward if we could have the beachball to cheer up Callum."
So.. don't miss your chance to own a piece of footballing history.. and help raise money for this excellent cause. (ebay)
