'The online auction is a fantastic way to help us continue the work my father started and raise crucial funds for cancer charities,' he said.
'We are overwhelmed by the generous donation from FIFA. I urge people, clubs and companies to consider donating, however big or small, and bidding to help us reach our £1million target.'
Fifa president Sepp Blatter said he'd always held Sir Bobby in 'very high esteem'.

'In 2009 we presented the FIFA Fair Play Award to his widow, Lady Elsie, in memory of Sir Bobby, a man who represented all the good qualities of football,' Blatter said.
Other sports prizes include two tickets for a FC Barcelona home match at Camp Nou, access for two teams to play at the famous Essex Cricket Ground, bowling tuition from Graeme Swann, a chance to to attend England national football team training ahead of the 2014 fixture and a VIP trip to next year’s F1 in Monaco by private ‘Eclipse’ jet.
