Favourite Albion memorabilia

[DavidRyder]

Has anyone got any interesting keep sakes from Albion matches, home or away?

I'll start the ball rolling - I managed to catch one of Nicky Rust's gloves after the Hereford game, the icing on an already unforgettable, er, cake/day....

Over to you...

My 1983 Cup Final flag I still have bought from outside Wembley before the first game !!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Six inch GOUGE down the side of me front door from trying to locate the keyhole following an NSC Sponsors Match at Withdean

I did have a duster liberated from a luton pub but i popped a flag on it and handed to the Albion players at the Goldstone promotion celebration

I've got the Newcastle programme signed by the team.

Doesn't it seem crazy now to see the fans all penned in behind those fences?

Hopefully one day soon we'll have reason to recreate the scene!

Well, ideally without the fences, yes

Somehow it felt right

That's pretty impressive - was that at a function?

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

£3 in the YMCA charity shop in George Street in Hove a few years ago. Now remind me which former Albion CEO had worked for Hove YMCA...?

Bargain! That would be a great one to wear to games now - the same can't be said for my pink & white away shirt from yesteryear that's clogging up a draw somewhere...

I guess my favourite is a pennant from the 1982/3 season pre season Townsend Thoreson tournament featuring club badges from the Albion, Ipswich, PSV and Standard Liege (rarity vale I guess), although I pretty happy with my signed Cup final programme, Vinicombe's book signed by the Div 2 promotion team, signed Barry Rees last programme and somewhere in my ex's garage is/was a blue turnstile door from the old East Terrace!

My grandchildren will be seeing my signed photo of Vicente - did he REALLY play for the Albion, grandad, and did we REALLY not offer him a new contract??

 

[Stato]

I have a few squares from the goal net from the last game at the Goldstone.

I also have a piece of concrete I picked up through the fence after the North Stand had been demolished. I took two and the other is in Australia with a mate who emigrated.

 

[Official Old Man]

I have lots of pre 80's programmes, both home & away, when I always bought one. Cup Final stuff, mirrors, plates, books and more. I did buy Peter O'Sullivans notes for his speech at his dinner, cost me £5, but sadly lost over time and I do still have the empty bottle of champagne we opened at a post 1979 promotion party. But my prized possession is my Seagull Special train ticket to Watford in 1984 (FA Cup).

 

[Grassman]

I have a letter from Jimmy Case, when he was manager, replying to my asking him to resign. In it he says "you may hear something soon". We did. He resigned a week later.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

I have a coat hook I was told was from the home dressing room at the Goldstone. It might of course have come from his under stairs cupboard! Anyone got another so I can compare?
