Football kits don't count, because it's a boring answer.

I have the mat with a big Albion crest on it from the old Goldstone Ground reception. It was in a bit of a state when I got it and it’s never really been cleaned up well enough so is in the garage. A crime really.

My 91 year old mum has a pass which allowed her access from the South Stand in the Goldstone to the ladies toilets that were in the South West corner of the ground. Circa mid to late 70s.

I have the Newtown Rd roadsign from outside the police box. It fell into my hands officer

It's currently in the 'not used, never open' club museum

I have a BHA Dolphins pennant, it’s pretty horrible. Also a BHA Sergeant’s three stripes iron on patch, and a pair of 1991 stripey shorts. I have plenty of other guff too. And a few shirts.

Yep, me too. Mine’s still got black grease marks on it from the stanchion at the very back of the upper tier where I stood for the replay. That’s definitely my BEST.

CRAPPEST - can’t think of any.

OLDEST - Palace v Brighton programme from the 1932/33 season.

Toilet seat? Who said the Goldstone wasn’t luxurious?

After the Doncaster final game I went to the gents at the back of the North Stand, I was having a slash and a chap came in and was trying to rip the cistern off the wall

After a lifetime and a divorce this is the only item of merchandise in my possession.
Very faded but still used on match day

I've had a word with the monoplies and mergers commission . . . . You're not allowed to compete in this one

Especially as my chipped 1979 promotion mug is as good as it gets

and a foam FA cup hand

Because I had thought it lost and have recently found it my massive Together in the Premier League flag that Bruno's missus handed me as I perched atop a lamppost.

Early to mid 80’s ski hat, and the wool has lost any elasticity that it may have had
