[Lillian Thomson]

The ball that Sir Garry hit for six sixes in 1968 has sold for £26,400.

There must be a few other balls of recent and ancient vintage that would get a good price if they came up for auction.

Not quite in the same class as the chap who tried to sell a bottle of his own saliva which he spat out when he had a cold. He claimed to have caught the cold from Paul McCartney and was therefore selling germs that originated from Sir Paul.

I would bid on that bottle for the sheer brilliance of it all.
