? - 14 Oct 1957 - Portsmouth v Charlton - R1
? - 14 Oct 1957 - Millwall v Aldershot - R1 rep
(? - 3 Dec 1957 - Brentford v Luton - R2 rep - abandoned)
? - 29 Jan 1958 - Luton v Brentford - QF rep
? - 31 Mar 1958 - Luton v Reading - SF rep

All West Ham games had a programme issued with home v Charlton issued for 13 Oct 1958 (postponed) and 27 Oct 1958 (date played)

The postponed programme is the the second rarest post war West Ham issue, only two copies known to exist

From a Luton perspective:

? - 26 Sep 1956 - Luton v Chelsea - R1 Yes definitely exists

(? - 3 Dec 1957 - Brentford v Luton - R2 rep - abandoned) Yes definitely exists

? - 29 Jan 1958 - Luton v Brentford - QF rep Yes definitely exists

? - 31 Mar 1958 - Luton v Reading - SF rep Yes definitely exists

? - 3 Nov 1958 - Portsmouth v Luton - R1 Yes definitely exists

? - 18 Feb 1959 - Luton v Southampton - QF rep Yes definitely exists

Most if not all are single sheets, and I have them all.

The only Luton SFCC I still do not have is 56/57 Luton v Watford, dated 7th November.

I can confirm that Portsmouth v Brentford 7/11/1955 does exist as I have a copy.

It is a single sheet, and is very rare.

I purchased mine in a private sale a good few years ago,

I may be wrong, but I don't ever remember seeing a copy for sale on eBay.
