An odd query; I wondered if anyone had ever come across programmes for the UEFA European U18 Championship Tournaments of 1971 (former Czechoslovakia), 1972 (Spain) and 1973 (Italy)? I am currently looking for, without success, these programmes, if they exist?

If anyone can point me in the direction of anyone who may have these programmes I would be most grateful.

Thanks

Dan

Programmes definitely exist for Spain 72 and Italy 73. Just overall brochures covering the whole tournament. I'd be pretty certain 71 exists as well but Republic of Ireland didn't qualify so I wouldn't be looking for it. I don't have spares of either and would consider them to e very scarce programmes.

Gary thanks for your post. When you say a programme for Spain 72 definitely exists, does that mean you’ve seen one or excitingly actually have one?

I have now got a programme for Italy 1973 so that’s sorted.

As for Czechoslovakia 1971 I don’t hold out much hope that I’ll find one!

I have the programme for Spain 1972. It has a green cover like this pennant

I can't put my hands on it easily at the moment to scan it. [/url]

At £250 I think I’ll give it a miss!

I don't think it is anywhere near the correct price. The seller puts crazy prices on everything including some common items.

However I would imagine it would be in the £100 range at least.

I’ve found an old photo of mine from the 1972 tournament although unsure if I still own it

Don’t suppose anyone (1980Cossie or garyspain) had any luck in retrieving their 1972 UEFA European Youth Championship programme? Thanks

Sorry mine is 200 Kms away and I won't be back for a couple of weeks.

What do you need to know?
