A Saskatchewan Roughriders jersey, once worn by Toronto's controversial ex-mayor Rob Ford, was sold for $1,550 in an online auction.

It was one of several items Ford put up for auction. The other items included what appeared to be the tie he wore on Nov. 5, 2013, when he admitted to smoking crack cocaine.

Ford, who is currently a council member said 10 per cent of the proceeds will go to research and care facilities for liposarcoma, the form of cancer he was diagnosed with last year.

The tie went for $16,100 on eBay after attracting 111 bids over the seven-day auction.

A pair of patterned pants Ford was photographed wearing on a shopping trip to Wal-Mart sold for $660.

Ford's assistant has said the former Toronto mayor was selling the items as part of a spring cleaning.
