My programme collection. As mentioned previously I have only 1 Burnley programme missing in my collection since 1946.

Also have a signed itinerary and menu from a post season tour to Germany in 1927, FA Cup Final banquet menus, hundreds of Reserve & Youth programmes and lots of souvenir newspapers including 1914 Cup Final issues.

When I was about 10, I used to have a ski cap (it was the late 80s...) and some match days my Dad would get me a new pin badge to stick on it. I must have had about 20 in total when someone took it from my head as we merged into the crowd going from the Longside to the Bee Hole End. Never saw who took it.

It's a wonderful piece of history with lots of newspaper cuttings from the different games, many autographs, tickets and a programme from the final. If anyone wants to have a look at it I would be happy to organise something when I am next back in E Lancs (most likely early Oct).

Jock Winton ?

the reason I ask if it was Arthur Woodruffs is because I was brought up 3 doors away from where he lived on Gainsborough Avenue, Rosehill. He had a scrap book from that cup run which he would let me look through. It had all sorts of things in it like menus from the hotel they stayed in, news paper cuttings etc.

I always wondered what happened to it. I'm assuming Arthur's wife Sue passed away some time ago but I don't know and their daughter was living in Canada so I thought with your name there might have been a link.

I collect a fair bit of NE Lancs railway stuff too so it has to be my collection of railway companies' or regions' advertising handbills for travel to Burnley games home and away.
Still looking for a League Liner one...

I've got a signed photo to me from Ralph Coates. He was a neighbour to my mum's friend and did it for me because I was in hospital having my tonsils and adenoids out.
I've got the bus too!

Beehole67 · Post by **Beehole67** » Wed Feb 21, 2018 4:30 pm

Mine is Ralph Coates England shirt from his debut against Northern Ireland in 1970. It was Bobby Charlton's 100th cap and George Best scored for NI.

The Wembley surface must have been rough as it still carries the Mud and Blood strains from the game.

Pearcey · Post by **Pearcey** » Wed Feb 21, 2018 5:07 pm

I also have that Bus, but mine is fairly new. I have a vintage shirt signed by Jimmy Mac and an RAF Ball signed by the players. I can only recognise Ade Akinbiyi though!

My original postcard picture of the 1913/14 FA Cup winning side, it was given to me in the 70`s by my late uncle but don`t know from which family member he got it from. Its got the famous midfield trio of Halley,Boyle ( Cap`t) & Watson. The manager was called Edwards, only 12 players pictures on the card, wouldn`t get modern squads on one postcard.

I received a signed Martin Paterson Premier League shirt when I retired from teaching, courtesy of a colleague (Rovers supporter !) who very kindly wrote to the club, telling them of my support for the Clarets and my involvement in schoolboys football over many years, the highlight of which was when the school team I helped coach, played at Wembley in the Smith's Crisps final. Walking out of the Wembley tunnel and across the pitch was a great thrill (I even got to kick a ball on the hallowed turf.) We sat on the red leather benches in the boiling hot sun and chatted with the England players who were there to watch the under 18s friendly England v Scotland which followed our competition. David Unsworth was in our team then as a 10 year old. I tried to persuade him to sign for the Clarets but Everton got there first !!

I bought it from a UK seller on ebay about 7 years ago and know very little about it other than the 'Jock' reference.

Got my tickets and programs from my first home and away game (cambridge mid 80s and wolves at wembley 88) along with too many pictures, items and memories. Pictures with all the players in hospital in 1993 and picture of a special meeting a few weeks prior to that in hospital at my bedside with Kevin Russell, David Eyres and Nathan Peel.

But best of all though has to be Les Thompsons suit from Wembley 94 that from knowing how much I love BFC through a mutual friend he completely at random contacted me to send the suit

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.

Been a Burnley supporter all my life but never really been one for football memorabilia......don’t even think I have any of my old shirts or anything! I usually give them to charity, think I might have programs and tickets from all my Wembley Clarets matches somewhere....but then again could quite easily have binned them. Strange when I actually think about it, because I do collect other things....but have never ever collected anything Burnley FC
