Stirling Albion v Wigan Ath Fr 1960

[Raxfactor]

Found this image on the Wigan Athletic memories Facebook page
didn't think there was a programme issued for this friendly match on the 27th Feb 1960 never seen it before, for the record Stirling won 5-1, not a good result for Latics seeing how they chartered a plane to get up there.
One for you pacey winger.
So if anyone has spare ............

There is a great new Stirling Albion site detailing all their match programmes which can be found here:

Interestingly it shows the Wigan match as not having a programme issued. I’m sure Jim will be able to advise.

Great site thanks for the link, I wonder if its been photo shopped as Wigan Athletic is printed in more black than red as per all the other Albion programmes, I had it listed as no prog issued as well.

I have never seen or heard of this programme in over 30 years of collecting Scottish v English friendlies.
Would somebody go to the trouble of photo shop ?
If genuine it’s an incredible find

There's no date or kick off time under "Wigan Athletic" - unlike all the covers on the linked website

Photoshopping just "Wigan Athletic" would be easy but adding the date and ko time as well would be much trickier

Jim can’t log into the forum at the moment
He is also convinced it is a fake and no programme was issued
