Believe it or not it happens a lot with cases like the number plates HU11 CTY which sold for a total of \u00a346,770! And others such as BO11 TON which sold for \u00a35,500.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>How much would you pay to represent your team on your car?

You guessed it, its related to a football team, WO11 VES is expected to fetch a handsome few thousand pounds with many Wolverhampton Wonders fans coveting the plate as the plate is the closest plate there is to the clubs nickname Wolves, maybe just a surprise bidder that really likes wolves (the animal) will make an appearance, buy the plate and make several football fans unhappy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through the years football fans have been renowned for doing some crazy things, but buying number plates for extortionate prices all
