Some interesting football items at Wingetts Auction next week. Could be worth a look.

Boxcat, didn’t know that. Someone out there will probably know the answer, but l wonder what Everton’s first issue is?

Selsafc, it looks like Everton were one of the twelve founding members of The Football League 1888-89 season . This is a copy of their first League programme. If only l had that programme?http://foot ...

Apparently the first known Everton programme is Everton v Astley Bridge 4/9/1886. Here’s a copy of Everton v Notts Rangers 4/5/1889. I can’t believe the number of friendly games that teams seemed ...

This game is now available to watch on YouTube thanks to EFC Heritage Society.lf you turn the dreadful music down it’s an interesting watch The standard of football in the good old days wasn’t tha ...

Looking at this poster for a Queen’s Park 1884- 85 game l can’t help thinking of that ‘Little Britain’ ‘I’m a lady ‘ guy trying his luck to get in free?http://footballprogrammecentre.co. ...

Thanks very much Pete, it looks like his signature. Looking at this one from a 2010 auction , some of the forward line ( Liddell, Stubbins and Baron) look a bit odd , but l suppose they are the expert ...

I can pick out Billy Liddell and Joe Fagan. Can anyone name the bottom signature on this page? Looks like late 1950s at Liverpool, but it could have been signed at a benefit/ charity game from that p ...

Cliff, grandson is going to the game with his pal, but his ticket is on his phone . They are going to keep an eye out for a paper one for you.

These two programmes were in a collection of programmes l recently bought. I don’t think they are of any great value, but l had no idea Roger Hunt put together an All Stars Xl in the early 1970s..T ...

Leigh, looking at this it looks like someone else couldn’t find an exact date. He remembers it taking place in the Autumn of 1965.http://footballprogrammecentre.co.uk/forum/userpix/14593_IMG_3253_ ...

Leigh, if you try The Wallasey News they might be able to put you in contact with someone who has got the info you need. I don’t know if you can check the newspaper online? The paper would probably ...

Pete, the lsle of Wight 1970 was fantastic. Didn’t arrive until Saturday lunch time. We had two £3 weekend tickets. When you entered the site they took the Sat and Sunday tickets off you and put th ...

Slightfold, so it looks like they just threw them in with the batch they were selling outside the grounds. I wonder how many of these double covers survived? On the subject of programmes, l have jus ...

Not certain how to tag this onto the recent discussion on the forum about pirate programmes. This Victor programme has got a Wolves v Real Madrid 1957 front cover and England v Wales 1957 back cover. ...

Looking at this photo of a FA Cup tie Spurs v Leeds Jan 1954 ,it makes you wonder how the like of Matthews and Finney could display their outstanding skills during that era ? Mind you, l do watch qui ...

Ndg , let me know if you need clearer copies of this fixture list for your project. It sounds like you have set yourself a real task, but it’s good fun if you enjoy the research involved. I have nev ...

I acquired this interesting little fixture list for The General Post Office FC 1906-07 recently. I had no idea that they had a team. Their home ground was at Earlsfield, London . Some of the venues th ...

Could it be Major Buckley’s Wolves team from the 1930s? Didn’t he have them on monkey glands to pep them up? Perhaps they are all high while enjoying a nice cup of tea. Mind you, l think Wolves ha ...

Currently for sale on eBay under the heading Unusual Football Photograph. No info from the seller , but it does look like a pro- team, probably 1920s or 30s. It looks like the players are gargling. A ...
