What's the oldest Sheffield Wednesday item you own ?


Recommended Posts

In the main I'm not a horder but I do have some 50s programmes. The oldest item I have seen which I posted a pic on here more than a year ago was a stamped coin bearing the words 'Darnall Cricket Ground' with a large 'W' on the reverse were the words 'Grand Cricket Match' no date but it has to be from the 1830's. The owner would not sell.

May be not the oldest but ive got a bottle of the Sheffield Ale that was made specially for the 1993 Semi Final FA Cup match between Sheffield MASSIVE Wednesday And The Lowley BLUNTS . have never been oped as its in perfect aged condition , I had though of selling in an auction site to see how may would be interested if any ... Made In Sheffield Drank at Wembley and by Sheffield People wel people in the blue and white half og the ground .... fullest too as im remember ....

There are thousands of these in existence, and also the same thing from the 1991 League Cup final. I have about half a dozen of the '93 ones and (I think) three of the '91 ones.

You must be from round here then, because all the soldiers who died at Battle (not Hastings, in 1066), were recruited from Wales/Kiveton Park/Harthill and surrounding areas, by King Harold on his way back down South after losing the bulk of his army, defeating the vikings at Stamford Bridge in North Yorkshire. Which is why we have a pub called The Saxon in the village.

I watched the Heysel Stadium disaster unfold in the snooker room at the Saxon....

I have a commemorative mug from the 1935 FA Cup Final - I'll post a pic later on

Recently moved again and unpacked some old boxes from storage and found an old Vinyl LP of the '66 cup Final commentary. Thought I'd lost it years ago!

Iv'e got that too - I don't know why I bought it (off ebay) and have never listened to it :-)

I did, but took it off the deck at 2-0 up! Have to say though that abide with me didn't half send shivers down the spine.
