The no.8 shirt worn by record goalscorer Peter Ward at the end of the 1977/78 football season is likely to be the star item in an auction of Brighton & Hove Albion memorabila at Withdean Stadium this Sunday, 22nd November.
The sale is the climax of a fair staged each autumn by the Albion Collectors' and Historians' Society to raise funds for projects such as the club museum in the new Community Stadium at Falmer.
The fair, which opens at 11am, will have eleven tables selling Albion memorabilia to collectors, with thousands of match programmes, pictures, DVDs, books, etc available at low prices. Admission is free and light refreshments will be available. Visitors should use Gate 21 from the main car-park.
Tim Carder, chairman of the Society, said:
"Wardy's shirt is likely to sell for £400 or more, but there are plenty of bargains to be had as well, with some auction items likely to go for as little as a pound or two.
"The fair is always a popular event which assists supporters adding to their collections while raising funds to help us preserve and promote the history of our football club."
The auction follows the fair at 1pm. The catalogue can be viewed in advance at www.albionhistory.org.uk where bids may also be left.
