Reply with quote

I've recently bought this UEFA Press badge from Italy, does anybody know anything about these?

It has "1975" and "Presse" on it. The very nice lad I bought it from said it was issued for the UEFA Cup final in the 1975/76 season, would that be right?
Or would it be the 1974/75 season as I originally thought?

I'm not overly bothered either way, as I really like the badge and would have bought it anyway. I'd just like to accurately date it to a season if I could.





Cheers.

Lovely badge.... hard to know at this remove where it comes from though.

Could even be the 1975 UEFA youth tournament won by England:

Thanks both, the youth tournament could be a great shout seand, that's something I hadn't even considered.

I know Leslie picks up items like this if they're connected to United, as do other guys on here too I'd expect, so I was hoping somebody might have one or two and know how the year date on them works.

The spelling of "Presse" appears to be French, which is one of the four languages spoken in Switzerland where that 1975 Youth Tournament was held.

Your suggestion prompted me to do a bit of research Seand, and you were absolutely right mate.

It is indeed the UEFA Youth Tournament 1975, as shown here ...





... I've managed to pick up a few more of these UEFA Youth Tournaments since too, including these two lovelies from Romania 1962, and Scotland 1970 ...







Cheers for your help mate.

Thumbs Up

Cheers buddy.
I'm chuffed to have finally been able to nail it down to a particular event.
