We have a new member called DavidFrance.

Now for those of you who don't know, David France is a legend among programme collectors and memorabilia in general. He obtained nearly 95% of every Everton programme ever produced. Including the first ever programmes for the likes of Newton Heath (Manchester United), Liverpool, and many more clubs.

He recently sold the collection to Everton Football Club for £800,000 even though it was valued at more than £1 million!

You can find out more about him and the collection here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_David_France_Collection

Or in a few months go here... http://www.evertoncollection.org.uk/

Anyway, I pm'd our new member hthinking it was the legend himself and I promptly got a reply back. There I was starstruck and so excited!

Only turns out it was Craig winding me up! Crying or Very sad

I was testing something on the site and needed to create a new user and David France was the first name to come into my head

Looking at that wiki page I reckon £1million is a conservative valuation
