The auction includes 56 items, according to multiple reports. Nicol gave his family first pick of the historic items before putting the rest up for sale. He said he is getting rid of his medal haul because he is tired of them sitting in drawers or boxes, and insists he won't miss the items because he prefers to think of the memories and the thrill of winning games.
Among the items is a training log book given to him by Ronnie Moran when he left Liverpool in 1994. According to Daily Mail - Sport, Nicol described the log book as an unusual piece that he had forgotten about. Nicol was part of the Liverpool team on the day of the Hillsborough disaster in April 1989.
