Rochdale manager Keith Hill is auctioning for charity his Sky Bet Manager of the Month trophy.

The proceeds will go to the Brandon’s Beard appeal, raising money for assistant manager Chris Beech’s son Brandon – who suffers from cystic fibrosis.

Hill said: “We’re trying to raise awareness for a very good cause.

“Myself and the players are doing do everything we possibly can to raise the money that’s needed for a vibrating bed for Brandon.

“Brandon is a massive part of Team Rochdale, as are all of the Beech family. It’s the least we can do.

“I’m prepared to auction my Manager of the Month trophy that I received on behalf of the football club and the players who helped achieve it.

“It’s a special trophy for myself, the players and the football club. But for Brandon it's something I’m willing to do for the right price.”

Bidding started today (Thursday November 14) and the lot will stay open until 4pm on Thursday 21 November.
