Inspired by Leslie Millman`s excellent recent thread, I was inspired to share a recent item, which I feel is as special as some of the vintage items in my collection.

Despite being only (circa 2 years old), it just feels special.

Dave Matthews had an amazing FIFTY years tenure at the Hawthorns most of which he served as kitman. The Dinner was attended by over 50 former players, and officials as a mark of his achievement.

The Dinner Menu was signed by 8 former Managers :

* Johnny Giles
* Ron Atkinson
* Colin Addison
* Brian Talbot
* Ossie Ardiles
* Keith Burkenshaw
* Bobby Gould
* Tony Mowbray

Can you just imagine the wealth of stories that passed around the tables that evening!

Truly,Truly special.

RIP Dave Matthews ( True Baggies Man)
