Wow, a Seaweed with a sense of humour...

Buy Butters

Brighton defender Guy Butters has been put up for sale for a fiver.

The centre-back was slapped on the Acoot auction site by fed-up Seagulls fans, unhappy with his performances last season.

Butters had a £5 reserve price slapped on him, but unfortunately there have been no takers.

The spiel accompanying his lot reads: "For sale: One centre-half, king-size, as new, hardly used.

"In original condition, complete with large quantity of protective padding. Selling due to high maintenance costs - costs £2,000 a week new."

It cruelly continues: "Would suit Screwfix Western League team. Possible use as whale simulator for training Eskimo children to hunt."

Maybe he could join forces with Yakin and set up a burger bar instead.

It was in the Sun on Friday aswell, sad thing is they reckon the guy that put it on acoot may possibly get banned from home games for it, i'll be disgusted if he does, doesn't anyone have a sense of humour these days?
