Stretford-End.com are setting up this petition to Manchester United Football Club, its players and employees, and the English Football Association to alert them to the already public situation of the families of former players Nobby Stiles and George Best.
Both players represented United with distinction yet both players medals and other mementoes are due to be sold at auction due to the families hitting financial difficulties. Nobby Stiles collection will be sold at Convery Auctions in Edinburgh on October 27th and George Bests at Bonham’s auction house in Chester on October 20th.
We, the undersigned, are Manchester United and football supporters who believe the club and its employees (including players) have a duty and responsibility to not only its former players and families but also the history of the club and country.
We therefore call on Manchester United and the English FA to purchase the items for sale at Convery Auctions in Edinburgh on October 27th and at Bonham’s auction house in Chester on October 20th.
