Bradley Wiggins' London 2012 Olympic throne and Manchester United defender Bill Foulkes' 1968 European Cup winners medal are just two items that will go under the hammer at a Sotheby's sports memorabilia auction.

Football boots belonging to Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres, a football themed Victorian clay pipe, dozens of football shirts and Formula One driving suits are among the ensemble.

Wiggins' throne, which he sat in after emerging victorious in the road time trial, is expected to fetch £15,000.

Foulkes, a survivor of the 1958 Munich air disaster, is fourth in United's all-time appearance list behind Ryan Giggs, Sir Bobby Charlton and Paul Scholes.
