The buttock belonging to the giant bronze statue which was toppled in the liberation of Baghdad and was smuggled out of Iraq by former SAS hero Nigel Ely., The piece is expected to attract 'global interest when it is auctioned in Derby later this month.
Bidding For Saddam's Bronze Behind
Former SAS soldier Nigel 'Spud' Ely is planning to cash in on his time spent in Iraq by auctioning off one of his spoils of war: part of the backside of the bronze Saddam Hussein statue famously pulled down in Baghdad in front of the world's television networks seven years ago as the tyrant's reign came to an end.
The 2ft-square piece of the despot's metal arse will now be sold off to raise money for injured ex-service personnel.
Spud was working with a TV news crew on the frontline in 2003 when Baghdad was liberated by coalition forces led by Britain and the US.
He arrived in the city's Firdos Square just after the statue of Saddam had been torn down by jubilant Iraqis and US Marines.
Despite the cordon of US marines around the prostrate statue, Spud was allowed through after showing his credentials and helped himself to Saddam's bronze behind with a little help from another soldier, a crowbar and a sledgehammer.
After smuggling it out under the guise of military vehicle armour, Spud will now be letting it go under the hammer - hopefully for a five-figure sum - at a Derby auction this October, with collectors referring to the piece as 'war relic art'.
