Your most treasured Burnley memorabilia

[ClaretTony]

A few years ago I was going to add a page to CM with photographs of people's memorabilia. Could be anything from an autograph sheet, to a signed photograph to an England shirt.

Maybe it is time to resurrect it. The pic below was sent to me to use had it gone ahead. It is one of Bob Kelly's England caps and the photo came from his niece.

Ian McL re Cup and saucer. I've also got the same inc a small plate,(with the club crest on) Bob Lord used for his tea and biscuits. I worked for the club and asked the catering manageress if I could have them after Mr Lord had left them on his office table. The club were about to change to another tea set. Rodley Dave has had the pleasure of sitting in my house drinking out of the said cup and saucer.

Great story Bfc. No one drinks out of mine! (Not even me!).

I was gifted mine by a young lad I worked with in Southampton. He was from Burnley originally (left for university) and his mum had a stall in the covered market.

I was telling him that my one Burnley mug had been broken (someone else used it and handle fell off) and that it was impossible to replace it. This was many years ago.
He said...."I'll sort one". He tried and his mum tried but no go. Then one day he came in with the cup and saucer and told me where it was from. His mum had had it but was happy to pass it on. I thanked him profusely and said I would treasure it. I still do.

I am pleased that another part of the set still exists.

Ps yes club crest.
