Craig Campbell - U2
Craig Campbell is one of Scotland’s top portrait artists and also a finalist Scottish Portrait Awards 2017. Though forged in the crucible of punk rock that swept Europe in the late 1970s, U2 instantly created a distinctive identity with its grandiose sound, a merger of the Edge’s minimal, reverb-drenched guitar and Bono’s quasi-operatic vocals. The band members were attending a Dublin secondary school when they began rehearsing, undeterred by their lack of technical expertise. The band’s early records were characterized by an intense spirituality, and they commented on social and political issues, such as the civil strife in Northern Ireland, with compassion and tenderness. The group became renowned for its inspirational live performances and was a word-of-mouth sensation long before it made much of an impact on the pop charts. But, with the multimillion-selling success of The Joshua Tree album (1987) and the number one hits “With or Without You” and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” U2 became pop stars. 30” x 40” canvas print canvas print exclusively only currently available for sale in this auction.

Christian Cullen and Jeff Wilson were the try scorers for the All Blacks. This was the first year of professional rugby and both sides had a galaxy of stars. Playing for the All Blacks including the two try scorers, were Justin Marshall, Sean Fitzpatrick, Ian Jones and the magnificent back row of Michael Jones, Zinzan Brooke and Josh Kronfield.

Ben Stokes Signed Cricket Frame - World Cup Final 2019
Cricket frame celebrating the England v New Zealand World Cup Final 2019 in London, signed by Player of the Match Ben Stokes. The 2019 Cricket World Cup Final was a One Day International cricket match played at Lord's on 14 July 2019. It was contested by the runners-up from the previous tournament, New Zealand, and the host nation, England. It was the fifth time Lord's had hosted the Cricket World Cup Final, the most of any ground. The two teams were tied on 241 runs at the end of the match, resulting in a Super Over being played to break the tie. On the final ball of New Zealand's Super Over, after equalling the 15 runs England managed in their over, Martin Guptill attempted to score the winning run but was run out by Jason Roy and Jos Buttler, meaning the Super Over was also tied. England won on the boundary count-back rule, having scored 26 boundaries to New Zealand's 17, thus becoming Cricket World Cup winners for the first time. It was the first time a One Day International final match required a Super Over, and subsequently the first time it had been decided by a boundary count. The match has been described as one of the greatest and most dramatic in the history of the sport, with some analysts describing it as the greatest match in the history of one-day cricket. Ben Stokes was awarded Player of the Match.

This is Your Everest signed by Ian McGeechan, Jim Telfer and Martin Johnson
"Signed by rugby legends, Ian McGeechan, Jim Telfer and Martin Johnson, ""This is Your Everest"" covers the 1997 British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa is one of the most iconic in rugby history. Written off at home and abroad, Martin Johnson’s men were given no hope of success against the world champion Springboks in their own backyard. But a combination of brilliant coaching, astute selections and remarkable players laid the foundations for the touring side’s outstanding attacking mindset and brutal stonewall defence. On the other side was a team expected to stamp their authority on the tourists and confirm their place as the best side on the planet. But with political, racial and economic scandals swirling around the Springbok camp, plus a rookie coach parachuted into office just before the tour began, the hosts were under huge pressure. In a Test series that will go down in legend as one of the most compelling of all time, the sides could barely be separated. This is the inside story from both camps as they battle for supremacy, lifting the lid like never before as a huge cast of characters look back on those extraordinary weeks and the impact it had on their lives and careers thereafter. Hilarious, insightful and spine-chilling, Tom English and Peter Burns provide the perfect read for all Lions fans." Please note, this item should be collected following the event.
