It is a ticket from Georgia so may be Soviet Union v England in March 1986. I'll check against my ticket from that game when I get home. It definitely isn't the Georgia v England game from 1996 as I was at that one

Thanks very much, all help is greatly appreciated - there are a few more here I'm afraid!

The one with the Euro 2000 logo is Bulgaria away in 1999.

The top one is Greece away in 2001.

Should be able to answer all these later, some U21 games in the pictures which I would have gone to as well

1. Greece v England 2001, possibly a press ticket
2. Bulgaria v England 1999
3. Bulgaria U21 v England U21 1999
4. The writing is Georgian so possibly Georgia U21 v England U21 in Batumi, Georgia, 1996? I was due to go to this one but my flight got stuck in fog in Istanbul

thank you.

I don't think it is from the England game in 1996, tickets for that one were much more modern in appearance. I also don't think it is from the USSR v England game in 1986 - my ticket looks completely different and crucially there is no Russian script on the one you have pictured, that wouldn't have happened until Georgian independence in 1990. It is definitely the Lenin Dinamo Stadium in Tbilisi - possible significance is that the only date I can see on the ticket is 1990 which was the year Georgian clubs left the Soviet league system and formed the Georgian National Championship.

My guess then is a Georgian domestic ticket from early 1990s

Agree with Sid on these. I had the Georgian ticket in that style some years back. Verified locally as a domestic game. This is the 86 USSR v England ticket played in Tblisi.
