This was in with a batch of programmes I bought. Anyone help me out with the origins of this one. Was there an official programme produced for this game ?

Not sure if there was an official programme produced for this particular game, but it looks very similar to some of the European competitive games that have been played over the years. I can't recall where I have seen them on e-bay nor the seller, I do know that it is more than likely an Unofficial version for the game.

Thanks for the feedback. It looks like something I could knock up myself in a day or two, just curious about the origin. I don’t collect unofficial issues myself ( other than the Ajax v Rangers unofficial Super Cup where I have both the official and unofficial copies) but is there any kind of market for these types of issues ?

Cheers.

It is an unofficial issue which has been produced for all Chelsea aways in Europe for the last 20 years.

Rangers collectors club members Mark McAdam and Ryan James have started producing programmes for Rangers away matches where no programme has been issued.

To answer your original question there was no official programme for this match.The pirate is produced in the West Country and is available for every Chelsea away European game.
