utter shite!

Its a photocopy like all his items, I can't believe people are gullible enough to buy that kind of tat!!!

I think my favourite bit of BUFC signed stuff is a team picture of the side who played at Wembley signed by all on it. Cookie of the Chris variety has the other one as I gave it him to either put in an auction or keep himself a few years ago. The last one I got to sign it was John McPherson who was an FC stalwart for years; one Saturday I was down there and he turned up from his West Country home so I flew back home, got the pictures and he obliged! Sad I know but.........

What about the signed Celtic matchball won in a fraudsters auction! The winner asked for a certificate of proof! Guess what he got? Lol

You've got a good memory!

I remember that, I can just imagine his tame lackey putting any old scribble on the ball in the Sports Bar Bogs before the auction!!!!

 :D :D :D

Mentioned on here a few times but i have a genuine signed gazza shirt - wore it a couple of times after he signed it and that was it. Its now in a frame in the conservatory.

Autographed the back over his number and then on the front wrote "Paul gazza Gascoigne"

Found a bizarre piece of paper last night when sorting some old stuff out.  It was seemingly a training plan with several players and training regimes required....handwritten and dated 2005 - not a clue where it came from?  I'll scan and post it up later tonight.

At a guess I've about a dozen signed shirts, 4 or 5 matchworn FL shirts and too many signed balls to be bothered to count!

The DMPL Champions signed shirt is on the landing, a present from my Best Man, its a great item save for some fat twat scrawling across the middle and spoiling it........ ;)

My best memorabilia is a a signed, framed away shirt from the play off winning side.
Not so sure about a signed football that includes a certain player from a distant era who has signed the ball : Gee Evans.  No mention of this person in the player profiles !!

Well this thread has given me an excuse to give my signed and matchworn shirts an airing!

In that lot is Ellie's FL away shirt, the shirt Richard Logan scored twice in during the record 6-0 win v Shrewsbury, Gavin Johnson and Jermaine McSporrans (really!!!) FL away shirts, home and away match worn Conference winning season shirts and a couple of early- mid 90's NPL signed match worn shirts.

Missing is a Bazza matchworn top and a couple more league shirts signed in the loft with the other general shirts. I must have 25-30 shirts. Still not got a Wembley one............

I did a count up not so long back and with a few training tops and even a shirt which I think was never actually an official one (Paulas Benara sample) its 20ish - I actually thought I had more!

Ah the Wembley shirt!  One came up on ebay a few years back but that went south to a man with a mini who knows full well he can pretty much name his price whenever he likes ;o)

Not forgetting my pride and joy, Cookie's tracksuit top from that day at the twin towers given (yes GIVEN!) to me by the man himself.  Just another example of what a hero he is.

 ;D  The mini is running as well as ever....he's also got a friend now called Cooper.

I think the BUSA raffles of a few years ago helped to swell the ranks of signed shirts. 

I still envy your green one though Mr U!

I have a fantastic piece of United history donated by former trainer Frank Scrupps.
It is a telegram dated 26th April 1978, sent by the then Chairman Mr Ernest Malkinson to all the squad members congratulating them on the winning of the Northern Premier League title in 1977/78. It is full colour both sides as a folded card with the telegram inside.
Anyone interested? Make an offer, obviously all proceeds to the club.

Ah yes, I remember standing in your spare room wearing that like an excited kid! Along with the aqua-marine scarf, obviously.

I have one like that too... it's one that didn't get chosen when we had the vote, and the hooped shirt was selected. The middle one from this:

Ah, you mean the vote that wasn't a vote, just a smokescreen to make sure that at some time in his sordid career Old Fatty McFraud managed a team in hoops.....

The worst kit in BUFC history, we'd had nothing like it before and hopefully nothing like it again.

I agree NoughtyForties, bloody awful shirt, i cant believe that anyone voted for that !
Title: Re: memorabilia
Post by: noughtyforties on June 22, 2011, 06:26:14 PM
I'm sure they didn't, like I say the winner had already been chosen, it was just that lot's contemptuous treatment of the support that they thought we were daft enough to believe anything was open and above board where McFraud was concerned.
