With decades of service to Tottenham Hotspur under his belt, head kit man Steve Dukes has certainly built up plenty of friends and favours to help him provide the signed memorabilia for a remarkable charity auction which begins this weekend.
Tottenham players have come and gone over the years but Dukes has been a constant at the north London club. Fans might see him dashing about on a match day or even have watched him laughing with the players at Hotspur Way in Amazon's All or Nothing documentary series last year.
The club's affable head of kit and equipment is one of the most popular figures at Spurs and that's why so many have flocked to help him with the special auction that begins at Graham Budd Auctions on June 11. The huge fundraising effort comes after the 54-year-old received a phone call two years ago that nobody ever wants to take.
