Revealed: What Westlife’s Shane paid for a shirt IF you happen to see Westlife’s Shane Filan out and about around Sligo wearing a Padraic Harrington shirt, then we can explain the story behind it.
Not only can we tell you where and when he bought... but we can also reveal how much he paid.
Shane bought the Open and US PGA winner’s shirt at the recent Cathaoirleach’s fundraising ball at the Radisson Hotel (see Social Diary on pages 39-41) where he and his wife Gillian, his mother Mai and other family members had a table.
The shirt was one of several items auctioned to raise money for the St Jude’s Children’s orphanage in Uganda. Obviously a fan of Harrington’s, Shane was quick to raise his hand when the bidding started. And so keen to acquire the shirt he stayed in the race and beat off all other bids until his last offer of €1,100 put it past the reach of the other hopefuls.
