LONDON (AP) — Former England rugby captain Lawrence Dallaglio is auctioning off his World Cup winner’s medal and other memorabilia from his career, weeks after revealing he was declared bankrupt.

A 22-item list — entitled “The Lawrence Dallaglio Collection” — is on the website of English auctioneer Budds and has a total estimated value of around 180,000 pounds ($240,000).

Dallaglio winner’s medal from the 2003 World Cup is estimated at 50,000-80,000 pounds ($66,000-106,000).

Club medals, awards and international caps belonging to Dallaglio will also be up for auction on Oct. 13.

In an appearance on the High Performance Podcast this month, the 54-year-old Dallaglio said he experienced financial problems after being made bankrupt as a result of getting divorced.

Dallaglio, who was a back-row forward, played for England from 1995-2007, making 85 appearances — 22 as captain. He was a member of the team that won the country’s only men’s World Cup title, in Australia in 2003.

He also was an ever-present in the British and Irish Lions’ storied series win in South Africa in 1997.
