    Sheffield/ hallamshire county cup

    Just read the cup was missing out of oakwell trophy cabinet nearly 20 years ago when needed for an exhibition last won by Barnsley in 1993 ,it turned up on Ebay and went for £2000 a fraction of what it was worth bought by football historian Martin westby. Apparently it was the "Holy Grail " of lost football trophies according to expert Chris Eyre. It's back at the FA who refunded Martin

    You could be correct there Exile , my recollection is that it was pre season , I also don't remember it being referred to as the Sheffield & Hallamshire cup ? It may have ? But i always knew it as the County Cup, sometimes used for trialists , i remember going to Millmoor to watch us midweek , we had a trialist from Benburb Scotland , he was absolutely outstanding , he was signed immediately , the lads name Ally Millar , he turned out to be pretty good for us ,
