Middlesbrough vs Sheffield United

Programme · 1970-71

Football League Division Two

£2.50 open to reasonable offers

Middlesbrough's official programme for the Division Two match against Sheffield United at Ayresome Park, 24 April 1971, with the ball graphic on the front cover filled with handwritten signatures. They appear to be autographs of the 1970-71 Boro squad - names consistent with Jim Platt, Willie Maddren, Stuart Boam and John Hickton can be made out - but the set is unauthenticated, so judge the close-up photographs for yourself.

Newcastle United vs Liverpool

Programme · 1995-96

FA Carling Premiership

£2.50 open to reasonable offers

Newcastle United v Liverpool official programme from 4 November 1995, deep in the Keegan title-challenge season that Tyneside still talks about. Inside is a Magpie Collection centrefold poster of Peter Beardsley carrying what appears to be his signature in blue ink - unauthenticated, so judge the close-up photographs for yourself. A strong package for collectors of the 1995-96 Entertainers side.

Newcastle United vs Grimsby Town

Programme · 1977-78

Football League Division Two

£2.50 open to reasonable offers

Home and Away matchday booklet for Newcastle United v Grimsby Town, 1977, produced as a tie-in with the 50th anniversary of Newcastle Brown Ale - a neat coincidence of dates, as 1927 was both the year the ale was first brewed and the season Newcastle won their fourth League Championship. A clear autograph in blue ink runs across the top of the cover; the signer is unidentified and the signature unauthenticated, so this is offered as the commemorative booklet with the autograph as a talking point.

Newcastle United vs Leeds United

Programme · 1975-76

Football League Division One

£2.50 open to reasonable offers

Team Check page from a Newcastle United v Leeds United Division One programme, 1975-76, listing two heavyweight line-ups of the era - Macdonald, Gowling and Kennedy for Newcastle; Bremner, Clarke and Jordan for Leeds. A clear ink autograph runs across the Newcastle team box; it may be Malcolm Macdonald, but it is unconfirmed and unauthenticated, so judge the close-up photographs for yourself.

Newcastle United vs Oldham Athletic

Programme · 1970s

Football League

£2.50 open to reasonable offers

Newcastle United official matchday magazine v Oldham Athletic (Vol 3 No 2), with a full first-team squad photograph on the cover. Look closely at the sky above the players' heads and you'll find four or five handwritten autographs in blue ink - plausibly a matchday signing session, with names suggesting Kelly, Davies and Cartwright among the possibilities. None are conclusively identified and the set is unauthenticated, so the close-up photographs are there for you to make your own judgement.

Newcastle United vs West Ham United

Programme · 1977-78

Football League Division One

£2.50 open to reasonable offers

Back-page 'Home and Away' team-sheet from a Newcastle United v West Ham United Division One programme, complete with both line-ups and a Newcastle Brown Ale advert marking the brew's 1927-1977 golden jubilee. Two handwritten autographs sit in the sky above the bottle, one partially legible and possibly ending in 'Hewitt' - neither is identified or authenticated, so please treat them as an intriguing extra rather than the reason to buy.

Aberdeen vs Dunfermline

Programme · 1996-97

Bells League Championship Premier Division

£2.50 open to reasonable offers

The Dons matchday programme for Aberdeen v Dunfermline Athletic, Premier Division, 4 January 1997.

Challenge Match (Stark's Park Opening)

£35 open to reasonable offers

Official programme and souvenir brochure for the challenge match staged to open the redeveloped Stark's Park: Raith Rovers v FC Bayern Munich, Tuesday 21 January 1997. The centre pages carry what appear to be squad autographs from both sides, including signatures matching Bayern's 1996-97 stars Jurgen Klinsmann, Lothar Matthaus and Oliver Kahn. The signatures are unauthenticated and offered strictly as seen - but as a night when the German giants came to Kirkcaldy, this is one of the standout pieces in the collection.

Rangers vs Dumbarton

Scottish League Cup

£2.50 open to reasonable offers

Official Rangers programme for the League Cup tie against Dumbarton at Ibrox, Wednesday 11 August 1993.

Dunfermline Athletic

Signed Ball · 2002-03

£15 open to reasonable offers

A black and white D.A.F.C. panel football signed in dark ink, believed to carry the signatures of Craig Brewster, Stevie Crawford, Gary Mason and Jason Dair from Dunfermline's late-1990s side - the Brewster and Crawford signatures are clearly legible in the photographs.

Dunfermline Athletic

Signed Ball · 2017-18

£8 open to reasonable offers

A white and blue Mitre football collected as a ballboy's matchball at East End Park in January 2018, carrying around eight signatures in dark ink. The handwriting is stylised and overlapping, so we cannot say with confidence whose signatures they are, and they are unauthenticated - the photographs show what there is, and the ball is offered on that basis. The ball itself is clean with no obvious scuffing.

Dunfermline Athletic

Signed Ball · 1990s

£20 open to reasonable offers

A full-squad signed D.A.F.C. football from the mid-1990s, believed to include the signature of Norrie McCathie - Dunfermline's long-serving captain, who died in January 1996 and remains one of the most loved figures in the club's history - alongside manager Bert Paton and around a dozen team-mates including Allan Preston and Andy Hawkins. The signatures are unauthenticated and the handwriting takes some reading, so please study the photographs, which show the ball from several angles. The ball shows light soiling and yellowing consistent with its age. A quiet, meaningful piece for anyone who stood at East End Park in that era.

Liverpool

Signed Shirt · 2006-07

£45 open to reasonable offers

Yellow Adidas Liverpool away shirt with the Carlsberg sponsor, consistent with the 2006-07 season, carrying around 15-16 signatures across the chest and sleeves. The signatures are believed to be from the Liverpool squad of that era - some sit beside squad numbers matching players of the time - but the handwriting is largely illegible and none have been authenticated, so please judge them from the photographs, which show the shirt from several angles. The shirt itself is clean, with only faint marks near the hem.

Signed Shirt · early-to-mid 2000s

£35 open to reasonable offers

Black and white striped Dunfermline Athletic home shirt by TFG with the RAC Auto Windscreens sponsor, dating it to roughly 2001-2005 - the era of the club's run to the 2004 Scottish Cup Final. The front carries around 18-20 signatures consistent with a full squad signing; the handwriting is mostly illegible and the signatures are unauthenticated, so please study the photographs before bidding. The shirt is clean and looks unworn, though the ink has faded to a grey-silver tone in places.

Rangers

Team Sheet · Date unknown

£1.50 open to reasonable offers

A plain white autograph card carrying four signatures in blue biro, one of which is believed to read Walter Smith; the other three are not legible, though the card most likely dates from a Rangers connection given the collection it came from. None of the signatures are authenticated, so please judge them from the photographs. The card has two small punch holes at the top but is otherwise undamaged.

Dunfermline Athletic

Team Sheet · 1992/93

£1 open to reasonable offers

Cover and pages from a Dunfermline Athletic Sportsman's Club commemorative dinner booklet dated 18 April 1993, with signatures believed to include manager Bert Paton on the caricature page and two further signatures on the menu page.

Dunfermline Athletic

Team Sheet · Date unknown

£1.50 open to reasonable offers

Triangular Dunfermline Athletic FC pennant carrying two ink signatures, which we cannot confidently attribute from the handwriting and which are unauthenticated - the photographs show both sides so you can judge for yourself.

FA Cup 4th Round

£1.50 open to reasonable offers

Burnley's official programme for the FA Cup 4th Round tie against Sunderland at Turf Moor, 27 January 1979, with several handwritten signatures across the cover.

Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace

Programme · 1977-78

Football League Division One

£2.50 open to reasonable offers

Home and Away matchday booklet for Newcastle United v Crystal Palace, 1977, from the same Newcastle Brown Ale 50th-anniversary series as its Grimsby Town companion in this collection - 1927 being the year of both the first brew and Newcastle's fourth League title. A faint pencil or pen mark crosses the top of the cover; it may be an autograph but is too indistinct to attribute, so this is offered simply as the commemorative booklet.
