I'm pretty sure Man Utd won it 3 or 4 times in the 50s with some of the Busby babes in the side.

i Think 52/3 was the first season

Think youth cup started in 1952 / 53 season and Man. United did win it the first five seasons in a row. Some of the programmes from these games are very expensive .

That's what i would do, stick it on ebay. It never cost you anything so what can you lose? I'm sure it will find a good price

I've made a bid just to get the ball rolling lol. I've had some 63/64 Programmes from you in the past. I'm looking for an Exeter home to complete my set. Do you have one for sale?? Thanks

Hi Wullie

Sorry no Exeter from that season im afraid. Why 63/64 ? is this when you were born ?

Not a bad price in the end i thought. Is it what you expected or are you dissapointed? yes i collect 63/64 the season i was born just as a little side line. Nice to pick up programmes for pennies rather than silly money i have to pay for my main collection.

MANCHESTER UNITED have won the FA YOUTH CUP 9 Times .the first occasion 1952-53 v WOLVES.The most recent 2003 v MIDDLESBOROUGH.
They have also lost in 4 other finals .The 9 wins is the record for the Competition so far.Of course I stand to be corrected if my information is wrong. Nod

Hi

Yes i am happy with the price, i had no idea of the value as i dont really trade in youth programmes that much. Who knows it may well be a bargain for the winning buyer. But for something i found tucked inside a 1980/81 rotherham programme is a little gem.

Thanks to all who contributed
