Later in the year it was offered at a charity auction in aid of the BBC's Children In Need campaign where it was bought by the pop star Robbie Williams. Robbie had made a guest appearance during the BBC's World Cup coverage and expressed an interest in the table at the time and even asked for Des's help in measuring the custom built table. Before delivery to the new owner the table made one final appearance with Des Lynam on the BBC Sports Review of the Year programme broadcast live from the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre on 13th December 1998. Subsequently, Robbie Williams gave the table to the previous vendor and was sold in 2006, the buyer of the table in 2006 is now the current vendor.
