[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Loads of signed cricket gubbins. I used to go mad for autographs when I was a kid. The highlights are:

Signed photo of Brian Lara batting at Hove;
Signed copy of a book by Viv Richards on how to play cricket;
Fully signed scorecard from when Australia played at Arundel Castle at some point in the 1990s;
A photo of me and Sir Garry Sobers;
Loads more shit.

I also have a signed Coppell-era home shirt that was given to me as the best leaving present ever, when I left my last job.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I have a shirt worn by a new zealand player and signed by all the team and a copy of the programme when they last played england signed by both teams.

Brian Lara's autograph and also Richie Benaud's.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I've got Dickie Birds autobiography signed which I gave to my NAN from her Birthday a few years back. Now she dead I have got it.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Also got Shane Warne's.

 

[Willow]

I have every cup final programme and about 2,000 others from very early one.

You mean you have every cup final programme since 1872? Wowsers! If that's true it would be worth THOUSANDS! Where do you keep 'em? In a bank vault, I hope?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Since about 1901 I think.

My Dad has them in his office.

 

[The Timekeeper]

Signed full frame photo of England CC tour of Sri Lanka 92-93
Full framed Photo signed by Sir Henry Cooper with me in it
Jonny Byrne Rep of Ireland shirt signed
Albion footy from 91 Play off Season signed
Best treasure Melinda Messengers undies - not soiled

 

[Cian]

Based on modern prices, I think just physically having almost mint condition copies of More than 90 Minutes, Build and Bonfire, and Albion! (the John Vinnicombe book) classes them as memorabilia

I've got an unidentified body part off a J-199 Jordan as well. No idea what chassis/race/whatever, so it could be from one of the race winners ... or from one that never raced at all

Somewhere, not sure where, I have a name badge with Bob Taylor's daughters name on it - my dad again. I was with him this time - got talking to him and her and he asked for her badge. The day after, Bob was called in as an emergency keeper.
