The mayor was known to be a big football fan, and is also auctioning off a Saskatchewan Roughriders jersey with "Mayor Ford" written on the name plate.

The highest bid for the tie currently sits at $1,700, while the Roughriders jersey will set you back at least $980 as of Thursday morning.

Ford withdrew from the mayoral race in September after he was diagnosed with liposarcoma, but won back his old City Council seat in the 2014 elections.
