Lot 7
We have decided to use an introduction for this very special lot from Callum’s mum - Sarah - as we can’t think of a better way to word it than she already has!
“Liam won his Pride Of Britain Award in 2008 and he decided to raise more money by getting celebrities at the event to sign an autograph book - this was auctioned for CLIC SARGENT raising a huge sum of money. After Liam’s death we were invited to 2009 Pride of Britain Awards where Callum decided to emulate his brother and fill another book with autographs and he is hoping to beat the amount his brother raised....so no pressure!”

This really is lucky lot 7.. Duncan Bannatyne helped Callum go around the tables collecting autographs for Clic Sargent. This is the first time this autograph book has been made available and Clic Sargent have very kindly said we can use it for the TwycleBritain Auction to raise the funds it was intended for!
There are many many signatures in this book, (mostly readable!): confirmed signatures are Duncan Bannatyne, Eddie Jordan, James Corden, JLS, Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne, Louis Walsh, Peter Andre, Verne Troyer (mini me), Ben Shephard, Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan, Paul O’Grady, Suzie Perry, Phillip Schofield, Beverley Knight, Gordon Brown (Prime Minister), Vernon Kaye, John Nichols RAF XV Sqdn, Carol Vorderman, Gary Lineker, Mark Lawrenson, Joanna Lumley, Kevin Pieterson, Frank Lampard
