being declared bankrupt.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The 54-year-old has put a number of items from his illustrious career up for auction including medals, trophies and caps. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The World Cup medal is expected to raise between \u00a350,000 and \u00a380,000 while in total the collection has an estimated value of \u00a3180,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Dallaglio was one of the stars of the England side that won the World Cup in dramatic fashion against Australia 23 years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Other items up for sale include a British and Irish Lions cap, his 1993 World Cup Sevens winner&#8217;s medal and a 2003 Six Nations Championship winner&#8217;s medal. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">During an appearance on The High Performance podcast<span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden
