Well come on, who didn�t see this coming? Someone at The Hawthorns on Sunday supposedly recovered Sir Alex Ferguson�s last ever piece of gum chewed as Manchester United manager. Of course, it quickly found its way onto ebay, where the gum sold overnight for nearly $640,000. We�re a little disturbed by how many people fought over this piece of dry, yet saliva-infused, memorabilia, nor can we even be sure of its authenticity. But apparently all proceeds go to charity, so that�s nice. The listing read as follows: Used chewing gum: RARE. Recovered from The Hawthorns. Clear perspex/wooden case. Unofficial merchandise, rumoured to belong to Sir Alex. After 1,500 games of intense chewing as manager of Man Utd, here lies Fegie�s last piece of chewing gum. All proceeds go to the MU Foundation charity.
