The Shirt which was worn by Kenny Miller when he scored the winning goal against Manchester United two weeks ago has been sold on an online auction for £6,600, but Fans fear the shirt may not be as genuine as first thought.

 The shirt, with number 16 and with "Miller" on the back was sold this morning for £6,600, but Wolves Fans believe that the shirt which was sold was not the shirt worn by Kenny Miller against Manchester United.

 The shirt was being sold by a company based in the North West, however we are unable to reveal the name of the company or the name of the winning bidder of the shirt.

 The advert claimed "This is the very shirt that Kenny wore in that famous victory and has signed the front with `Best Wishes`." but fears were sparked over the credibility of the shirt, which sparked uproar on an Internet Message Board.

 Fans who used the Express and Star`s Molineux Mix Message Board took matters into their own hands and they believe the shirt is not genuine. They say that they have received Emails from the company selling the shirt which contradict themselves and several posters claimed that the North West based company offered them Kenny Miller `s Mobile Number, only for the Fans not being able to speak with Miller once the number was tried.

 Sources inside Molineux claim the shirt is genuine, however this has also angered many of the posters on the popular Message Board. Fans are furious that an external company can make so much Money on property belonging to Wolverhampton Wanderers, and they believe the Money should be donated to Charity.

 The auction ended at 10.38 this morning and was placed on an Internet Auction Service last Thursday. The leading bid last night was only £880, but the money soon rose to £3,000 with minutes remaining and then doubled in the final few seconds of the Auction.
