Mr Walsh, who is chairman of the Mayfair security firm in Leamington, explained how the shield would be given to the young magician of the year.

He said this would be a fitting tribute to Mr Curtis who was secretary for Leamington Chamber of Trade and a member of the town's Christmas lights committee.

Mr Walsh said: "John was a keen magician and a special person. He was like 'Mr Leamington', everybody knew him. This is a way for people to remember him at this time every year."

Tony Walsh, of Mayfair Security Services in Cubbington, was dropping a car off at the garage opposite the pub when he saw the smoke.

He dashed in and warned staff about the fire.

Mr Walsh said: "There was black smoke coming out of the building and six foot high flames.

Wrestling legend and Mayfair security owner Tony 'Banger' Walsh hosted the evening.

It was snapped up by Mayfair Security chairman Tony Walsh, who shipped it to his Kenilworth home for son Adam, 16.

The avid fans attended an auction of items from the club's former Highfield Road ground last month.

A determined bidder bought the home dugout for £1,050.

But Mr Walsh swooped for the away shelter at £200 - and paid five times that amount to move it.

A crane had to be employed to lift the piece of footballing history over his fence to give it pride of place in the garden.

Adam, a Princethorpe College student with an impressive array of Sky Blues memorabilia, said: "When we first heard about the auction we joked about getting a dugout, but started talking about it more and more.

"It ended up turning into a serious plan."

Mr Walsh added: "We've been inundated with people wanting to come round and get their picture taken in the dugout.
