Hartlepools United v Manchester United Fa Cup 1957.

[capetown3673]

Many years ago (20+) I purchased book written by a Hartlepool fan about this match, along with a reprint programme. Also what I thought at the time was an original programme VIP/ Directors copy which had no number on the Team page. Some years later there was mention about another fake programme, could that be the one. Unfortunately I no longer have the items but im curious to know, if the item I had was in fact fake.

I believe a reprint was issued in the 1987/88 Hartlepool v Luton Town FA Cup 3 programme. The reprint programme number on the team page was - 2787

You mentioned there was another reprint or a reprint, he has just advised you that there was one with a number, this is the ONLY reprint that was produced. Perhaps you let go an original?. All the programmes that were SOLD on the day had a number printed inside for a lucky raffle draw.

The programme I had definitely had no number so if it wasn't a reprint im guessing it was a directors VIP copy?

The press were handed out programmes that were numbered, so perhaps or perhaps not-either way it is academic now and it has gone, does it still matter?
