My uncle found the programme from 1923 and 1953 FA Cup Final signed by both teams in 1923 and Stanley Matthews and Stan Mortenson in 1953 along with the 1966 World Cup Final programme signed by both teams and left them on the side in the kitchen after showing them to his friend. Auntie comes along and puts them on the bonfire my cousins made outside! How much would they have been worth? They were his pride and joy! Shocked

Sorry but i don't believe a word of it. First of all, you don't just come across programmes like this , so he must be an avid collector.Such a collector would never just leave them on a kitchen table. Unless the Auntie was completly insane, she would never throw something like that on a bonfire. I mean she must have known her husband collects programmes. If it really happened i would have got a divorce, or better still, put her on the bonfire.

I just found my iphone on the bar in the pub and my mate had typed this in! He said it was for a laugh, I think it's just plain stupidity myself!

1923 if REAL is worth a small fortune, especially hand hand signed. Not aware of ANY FA 1923 signed so if REAL looking at £1300 minimum...to £2500

Is it an original...and hand hand signed by whom ???

1966 again..who has signed the programme...

Would be sure you would be Sh$$$itting your pants and whacking them on ebay or getting in touch with auction houses...

STILL WE ALL HAVE FANTASIES

See above, although I do see the funny side of messaging that on here now. I just thought it would leave a bad impression as I'm new to this forum!
