HJC CUP 2007
POST-TOURNAMENT PRESENTATION & ENTERTAINMENT
THE SANDON (back bar)
SATURDAY 12TH MAY
After everybody has exhausted themselves pretending to be real footballers on Saturday, there will be a trophy presentation and party at The Sandon (back bar) on Oakfield Road, Anfield.
Doors open at 6.30pm, although please be advised that the bar itself will not be open until 7.30pm. Prior to this time, the main front bar of the pub will be open as normal. There is a late bar until 1am and a small buffet will be provided.
The trophy presentation will take place at approx 8pm, followed by various entertainment including Dave Kirby & Nicky Allt (spoken word), John McGlone, local band Little Genius and compered by Neville Skelly, who will be premiering his new Athens '07 Cup Final song.
Time permitting, we will also be re-running the second half onwards of Istanbul ’05 on the big screen to get everyone in the mood for Athens (as if that was needed….).
Also, as part of the post-tournament festivities, a charity auction will be held to raise funds for the Hillsborough Justice Campaign. As a ‘heads up’ to all those attending, we can confirm that the following items will be part of the auction. There are some fantastic lots on offer – please give generously!
1.Original part of the Kop stand.
A unique opportunity to acquire a piece of LFC history, this is a metal girder taken from the dismantling of The Kop. Set on a base, the post has been fashioned to incorporate a stand, upon which sits an LFC football signed by the dream team of the 1980s. Not one, but TWO pieces of LFC memorabilia for the die-hard fan. In addition, this lot will include a colour album of photographs taken on the day the Kop was dismantled.
We anticipate a great deal of interest in this lot, so make sure you don’t miss out!
2.Signed Celtic FC Football.
Our friends at Celtic FC have donated this signed football from 2000 to the HJC. A fantastic piece of sporting memorabilia.
3.Jamie Carragher Man Of The Match Magnum of Carlsberg Lager Plus T-Shirt
Calling all Carra fans…….One of the many times Jamie has been voted Man of The Match, this magnum of Carlsberg Lager has been kindly donated by the Carragher family. But, that’s not all…..also included in this lot is a worn T-shirt from Carra’s stag do, where all members of his troupe were given shirts proclaiming Jamie to be ‘Probably The Best Scouser In The World….’.
You can’t get your hands on items like these – totally unique ‘bits of Jamie’. Steady, ladies…..
4.Phil Neal/Alan Hansen Signed Glossy Posters
These two glossy posters were produced as part of LFC’s promotion drive for their website and online services. One poster has Phil Neal queuing for his Bovril and pie outside Anfield and the other has Alan Hansen sitting in the stands with his laptop. Both are signed in black marker.
5.Michael Owen Signed Caricature
Gerard Cosgrove is famous for his sporting caricatures, and this one of Michael Owen, signed by the player himself, is typical of Gerry’s fun take on the beautiful game.

A magnificent framed picture of Steven Gerrard – a must for any Stevie G fan.

A great set of four action photographs, nicely framed, of Paddy Berger, Emile Heskey, Jamie Redknapp and Robbie Fowler – all signed in black marker.
