National Football Museum for £400 beach ball
Infamous beach ball cost Liverpool FC match
BEACHY - Auctioned for £411
THE infamous beach ball which cost Liverpool FC the match against Sunderland is being offered a place in football history.
The National Football Museum want to put the red inflatable on display alongside the ball from the 1966 World Cup Final and the original FA Cup.
Last night the ball was sold for £411.77 to a mystery bidder after the News of the World auctioned it on eBay for charity.
The red beach ball found fame at the Stadium of Light last month after it was thrown on to the pitch by a Liverpool fan.
But it bounced into the penalty area and deflected a shot from Sunderland's Darren Bent into the goal.
Sally Hawley, from the museum in Preston said: "It is one of the most controversial and entertaining objects in recent history."

That beach ball should not be sold to one person. It should be exhibited.
