Paul the Octopus not dead after all, was just worried the sea-life centre lacked ambition, but has now signed a lucrative 5 year contract .

 

doubled his wages after he cheated on his missus with a crustaceon and made bad predictions for while (out of form)

* Hero Stiles sells World Cup medal

The sale is being handled by Convery Auctions in Edinburgh.

It is a Scottish company which specialises in sporting memorabilia.

Mr Stiles is selling his memorabilia so his family can benefit from their sale.

The 1966 World Cup final medal will cost the buyer £188,200 when premiums, commission and VAT are added.

The collection for sale also includes Stiles's 1966 World Cup cap and his 1968 European Cup winner's medal.

The blue Manchester United shirt he wore in the European Cup final against Benfica is also up for sale, as is Alan Ball's 1966 World Cup final shirt, which Stiles acquired from his team-mate as a swap after the match.

He was born Norbert Peter Stiles in Collyhurst, Manchester, in 1942, and was awarded the MBE in 2000 for his part in England's 4-2 victory over West Germany on 30 July 1966.

Stiles, who suffered a stroke in June, said: "It was always my intention to leave the entire collection to my children.

"But I have three sons - how do you fairly divide up this sort of collection between them?

"They have each selected some pieces they would like to keep for themselves."

The sale is taking place at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh.

Convery Auctions director David Convery told the BBC Scotland news website that there was huge interest in the sale.

He added: "We have had expressions of interest from as far away as Australia and Chile and all around the Far East."
