ON THE BLINDSIDE

Jonny Wilkinson’s shirt from England’s 2003 World Cup Final win failed to match expectations at a recent sale of memorabilia held by auctioneers Graham Budd.
The No 10 shirt worn in the first half was donated by Wilkinson to raise funds for five charities and was expected to fetch between £40,000 and £60,000 but instead went for £30,000.
