Organisers of tonight's Wessex Heartbeat Ball are hoping for some towering bids for a unique piece of soccer memorabilia.

Renowned sculptor Timothy Richards has reproduced Wembley's famous twin towers as bookends in marbled plaster.

They have been signed by Saints boss Glenn Hoddle and the club's FA Cup winning skipper Peter Rodrigues and they will be auctioned at the gala dinner at the De Vere Hotel.

Also included in the lot are programmes from the 1976 FA Cup final, Hoddle's England debut against Bulgaria in 1979 (the only wembley international to be postponed because of bad weather) and england v Germany, the last game under the Twin towers.
