What's your best bit of football memorabilia?

One of my more unusual items is one of Mike Stowells shin pads thrown into the away end at fratton park a few years ago. Yes I only managed to grab one.

Great find Tundra. Perhaps that could go on the Wolves thread as well?

Good suggestion, Wokes, it has now been added to the Wolves thread...

A programme of the First Cup Final at the new Wembley between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham played on 28th April 1923. This was where the policeman on the white horse controlled the crowd that spilled on to the pitch.Two cigarette ads Morris's 20 fags for 1/- (5p) and Pinnace 20 cigs for 11 1/2d (just under 5p
Found the programme on a market stall amongst other programmes years ago,think I gave a quid for a box full.Not bad biz !!

For years I had that 'It's Ours Again' Sporting Star, published in gold, from 1960, and I had kept it in mint condition. But it got lost during one of our house moves. Don't think I ever quite got over it

Either of these match, PKB?

Greystone, the following may be of interest:-


Official programme for the 1923 FA Cup Final between Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United, played at Wembley. This was the first FA Cup Final to be held at Wembley Stadium and became known as the famous "White Horse Final", when the vast crowd spilled onto the pitch and were pushed back by a policeman riding a white horse.

Central vertical crease, staples removed to prevent rusting. A good copy of this extremely rare programme.

Date:1923

Priced at 1,90

Yes I know it's quite valuable Wokes and whilst mine is in pretty good condition, I think A£1900 is for an almost mint one.

Wokes,I have just been watching an online auction site Sporting Gold Ltd on the-saleroom.com,a sale of sporting memorabilla and interestingly they have just sold a 1923 Cup Final programme for A£680. Other sales of interest,1924 Villa v Newcastle A£950,1925 Cardiff v Sheff U A£1050,1931 B-ham v WBA A£450,1939 Wolves v Portsmouth A£140 and 1936 League 1 Wolves v Middlesborough A£320. Old programmes are making good money.

That certainly is a very interesting site, Greystone as I have over 3,500 programmes to sell. The oldest is Wolves v Charlton 27 August 1945 and there are quite a lot of pre-1964 programmes in that lot. They are all listed on the computer, but I have given a few away and I need to check through the list to see what is missing - sometime!

Off the top of my head I know I own a 1960 FA Cup final, both league cup final's, sherpa van final, Texaco cup final and the Honved match programme's.

Got a history of Wolverhampton Wanderer's book signed by a few players including Frank Munro and Dave Wagstaffe.

Also own a Lledo model bus with Wolverhampton Wanderers on the side of it.
