Although it has a lowly starting price of just £250, it is being tipped to set a record for a footie-themed car registration plate.

The DVLA sold a similar one — AR53 NAL — for £36,000 in 2004, when the so-called Invincibles won the league without losing.

With the club again riding high in the Premier League, wealthy fans such as Roger Daltrey, Idris Elba and even The Sun’s Piers Morgan could make a record bid.

The record is held by a West Ham supporter who paid £57,000 for the WE57 HAM plate in 2007.

Merseyside fans will be bidding for EV22 TON or LFC 8D.

Also up for sale is THE 904T which can be read as THE GOAT or The Greatest of All Time, often used to describe the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

The sale is at the Cambridge Belfry Hotel from Wednesday to Friday.

Bids can be in person, by phone or online.
