I was a avid programme & autograph collector from 1960, having saved Rotherham United
programmes, league games home / away & the one sheet North Regional programmes, I had
a good collection of autographs, league & international players.
I even collected green-un Saturday tea-time newspapers also, & doing the league tables with
all divisions with the little team names.

I gave my collection to my brother-in-law when I got married.

Sadly to say my next door neighbour passed away last month, he was a avid Sunderland fan,
his wife was talking to my wife outside this morning, when the lady showed me the programme
& told me to keep it.
