Former England international Hunter, 69, won a clutch of medals with the fearsome Leeds United side that ruled English football in the late 1960s and early 1970s. And, after deciding to let the fans enjoy the medals, he has now successfully auctioned his coveted collection of football memorabilia following a week-long online auction. The sought-after hoard of 74 lots raised close to the £100,000 estimated. Mr Hunter, who has not yet decided what to do with the money raised, said: 'Loads of people have asked me if I need the money, the answer is no. 'For me the point is that I'm 70 soon and if someone else can receive some pleasure and enjoyment from the items then that makes me happy. Over the years the fans were always behind us and so important to us. If this can give something back to them then that's good enough for me. 'I'm pleased that the auction was so successful and I really hope that the new owners will be happy with their pieces of football history.' Highlights from the auction included his 1968-1969 1st Division Championship Winners medal which sold for £8,350, his 1972 FA Cup Winners Medal which smashed its estimate of £8,000 pounds to make £11,000 and a Centenary Cup Final Shirt for £7,050.
