102 year-old man from Liverpool auctions off Sir Paul McCartney autograph for NSPCC
A 102-year-old from Liverpool has auctioned off a Paul McCartney autograph and donated the proceeds to the NSPCC.
Leslie Bolt got the autograph through his work with a youth club in Liverpool in the early 1960s, before The Beatles had gained international success.
He was given the autograph by Paul’s brother Mike McCartney, who was a regular at the youth club at the time. Even though this was before Beatlemania, Mike had confidence his big brother was destined for stardom.
Mike, who is known professionally for photography and artwork as Mike McGear, gave Mr Bolt the autograph on an aeroplane food menu, telling him: “Look after this, it could be worth something in the future.”
