[Albion] Your Albion history/memorabilia

[Barham's tash]

Had cause for a de-clutter today and found some excellent personal Albion memorabilia hidden away:

So what else have you unearthed that you forgot you had or brought back a happy memory or more?

 

[zefarelly]

ten or so shirts, from Bukta to early nouhgties lots of 96/97 stuff, a chunk of East Terrace, a '79/80 promotion mug, 70's subbuteo team.

A big box of mental scars.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Nothing much except the matchday programme from my first ever Albion game - Boxing day 1967 Vs Gillingham

 

[AmexRuislip]

Found all my old Goldstone matchday tickets from 1976 onwards, I thought I'd left at my dads house.
Now in my Albion box of treasures

 

[GT49er]

A couple of old programmes (including the 2-8 against Bristol Rovers (God bless the genius manager Brian Clough) and a couple of scrap books of newspaper cuttings from our old first division days (no internet to keep up with the Albion back then!

Whilst I think of it, I've got a few old Rothmans and Sky Football year books that I don't read any more - anybody interested, PM me.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

amoungst program fanzine stuff........3 or 4 ID cards from Goldstone, Supporters club cards and badge, Seagulls Party card, changing room shirt hook from Goldstone, Stanley out poster. All utterly worthless and might go on my funeral pyre.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

A big box of mental scars.

Haven't we all?

Some great images with my Dad and his brother down the front at the Goldstone. Sadly he never got to see the Amex.

back in the mid 70s, Palace was the only game you'd need a ticket for

My old man used to keep them behind the clock on the mantelpiece

I used to do a scrapbook, long since gone,gutted

But I have hundreds of programmes,the oldest being from the 59-60 season

I’ve got a letter from Jimmy Case (when he was manager) which was a reply to one I sent him asking him to resign! He actually says something along the lines of “you’ll be hearing something soon...”. If the internet had been around then I would have had a veritable scoop.

 

[Charity Shield 1910]

A few things, but the headlines would be that I had (but not sure where it has gone) an old WW1 gas rattle given by a great grandfather to my grandfather who then took it down the Albion. Also got somewhere the programme from Hereford away from that game.

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

there's a piece of Goldstone turf in a garden in Seaford

Which I acquired after the Bristol Rovers promotion game

Nearly dug it up when I moved

That's quality. Such a shame that era. Jimmy Case still is one of my favourite players.

That first fixture was my second Albion game. What a magical floodlit night for a kid.


In our loft I have an Albion ceramic plate in a frame. with the entire squad listed (about 15 players) for either the 77 or 79 promotion.
