cognacbarnowl Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I had a Wednesday book which my ex sent off to Hillsborough and had it signed by the whole '71/'72 squad. A fabulous 50th birthday present. A few years later after she'd divorced me it hurt me so much to look at the book that I sold it on ebay. Neg away lads, but the bad vibes and memories it brought back were too much for me. FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine to look at it provoked so many memories, some that you didn't want to be reminded of. Better then that someone else enjoyed owning the book eh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The memory of seeing Kevin Pressman laid out on a treatment table in the lobby will stay with me forever Oh, and a few of the players who shall remain nameless as they were already married taking 'ladies' up to their rooms and being chased by hotel staff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 And the players returning to the hotel laden with Burger King from Malmo station after the Trelleborg match...

cognacbarnowl Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Alan Warboys always having a few tickets for us as he got off the coach on away days. Very aptly named too cos he didn't teck no prisoners. One of my old time favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FARGATEOWL Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I used to have a 2005/6 away shirt signed by the squad for the Watford away game. Included Gabby Agbonlahor when he was on loan. Gave it away for a auction raising funds for Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice. Think it made £ 60.00 for a good cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddyowl Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I have 400+ autographs from days gone by, players that have played for us going back as far as the 20s/30s, most are signed pics/photos/. I have all but one of the 1935 cup winners just missing Jack Palethorpe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concrete Owl Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Dug this out. (Knew I had it somewhere) Think the guy was a shareholder & matchball sponsor. Love the old letterhead & of course Dooley’s moniker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I've never been into Autograph's or memorabilia really. The only thing I own is a scrap of paper with Ian Knight's signature on it, my mum used to work in the Halamshire Hospital at the time he had his leg broken in umpteen places. I actually told her off (mildly scolded maybe, I am still scared of my parents!) because I thought he was probably at a very low point and I didn't think he'd want to be signing things for fans. Maybe thinking back I was wrong and it might have taken his mind of things for a few seconds..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
