It's that time of year again: the weather is wetter, money is minimal and New Year's resolutions are already redundant. But fear not: Football Aid are here to brighten up those January blues with the return of the spectacular annual event, the unique and fantastic Football Aid January Auction!

Together with the support of Norwich City Football Club, Football Aid are looking to raise even more money for a variety of charitable causes, as the launch of the fiercely competitive Football Aid auction gets underway. The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity gives fans of the Canaries the thrill of a complete matchday experience, including pulling on a personalised shirt in the changing rooms, walking down the tunnel to the sound of a cheering crowd and ultimately stepping out onto their Field of Dreams. A host of club legends including Jeremy Goss, Robert Fleck and Dale Gordon have all supported Football Aid in previous years, either managing or playing alongside football fans as they graced the hallowed turf.

The 2009 Football Aid Auction at www.footballaid.com is already shaping up to be extremely exciting, with the new Maximum Bid and Buy Now options already proving very popular with bidders!

With bidding starting from just £170 this year, there really is no better time to grab yourself the ultimate January bargain! So whether you are a dynamic defender, a midfield magician or fantastic up-front, there are positions to suit every player who has ever dreamed of playing at Carrow Road!

All funds raised from the events are distributed through Football Aid's parent charity Field of Dreams and split between diabetes research programmes, and charities nominated by participating clubs. Football Aid has so far awarded over £1.3 million to charitable causes since the company was set up in 2000, and has enabled nearly 10,000 football fans to pull on their favourite club's colours and grace the hallowed turf of the club they support. Please visit www.footballaid.com or alternatively contact the sales team at info@footballaid.com to find out how you can Live the Dream.

Securing your position in this unique event has never been easier with the ability to purchase online, meaning you won't even have to pick up the phone! Visit www.footballaid.com/events or alternatively contact the sales team on 0131 220 5999 or email info@footballaid.com to select which team you will be playing for at the end of the football season. If your position is not available, why not take on a new role and become the Canaries' favourite new utility player?

Football Aid was created as a unique way of raising money for charity and voluntary organisations. Through our parent charity, Field of Dreams' multi-beneficiary grant award scheme, the funds raised from the Football Aid events are distributed to diabetes research, education and management projects plus charities nominated for funding by Norwich City Football Club.
