Post by: Sprotyrover on November 28, 2015, 12:38:55 pm

I am having a clear out and found the above item in the loft is it worth out ?

Sorry not selling it,if somebody offers me a shed load I will put the tray on the house insurance.

Can Any clever Dick name all of the signatures?

Well done Sammy but finding it out again after all of these years has been a nice Filip so it's going on display at Chateau Sproty 😄

I'm jealous.

Two more names - Dennis Peacock and Dave Rushbury are on it too.

Dave Rushbury didn't join us until the mid-80s.

I guess it was done either during the 78-79 season or more likely at the start of 79-80. In fact, off the top of my head Hugh Dowd and Keith Ripley junior didn't join until the summer of 79.

RB: I noticed it seemed a few years out, but it looks like his autograph. Also Ray Deans joined in 85, so maybe that is wrong?

Fifth along at the top = Daral Pugh?
