Hi Ian, Arsenal had a romp that day. Celebrating the league title win and then beating Grimsby 8 - 0.
Ronnie Rooke aged 36 was awesome scoring 4 in that game and that season, scoring in 24 of 42 games that season with a final tally of 35 goals. His Arsenal final tally was played 93 scored 69 in only 3 seasons.
The programmes from that season usually go for about £10 but as this was a much more important game as you mentioned, you can see this one go for between £15 and £20 in good nick. There's a few about as attendance was 35,000.
