WARRINGTON Wolves legend Lee Briers is auctioning off one of his Challenge Cup winners’ medals for charity.
The ex-Wire scrum half, now assistant coach at the club, has donated the medal he won with St Helens in 1997 to the Steve Prescott Foundation.
Auctioning off the prized possession on Twitter, bidding currently stands at more than £1,000.
Briers famously guided Saints to Wembley, playing in their cup semi-final as an 18-year-old.
But he was dropped for the final in favour of Bobbie Goulding, paving the way for his departure from Knowsley Road for Wilderspool.
Now 41, Lee would go on to win Challenge Cups with Warrington in 2009, 2010 and 2012.
Steve Prescott was a teammate of Briers at their hometown club, the fullback having raised nearly £500,000 for charity during a battle with cancer before his death in 2013.
It’s the least I can do. Let’s beat this horrible disease. #beatcancer https://t.co/KJTSvejKVv

Bidding ends at 8pm on Monday, September 9.
