Stanley Memorabilia
 

Gooooood Evening;

Hope everyone is well and looking after their health.

With Covid-19 taking over the world (literally), football has taken a back seat (rightly) and discussions on this forum seems to be dropping off.
With that in mind, I thought about a period of reminiscing, and so over the next few weeks I’ll be posting some topics that I hope you can all join in with , for a bit of happiness, joy and feel-good during these bleak times.

So, to start us off with, I want to know....

What is your favourite piece of Stanley memorabilia that you own??
let’s see what people have hidden away or in pride of place in their home :alright:

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

2 things for me, the National League winning celebration T-shirt and the League 2 championship scarf and badge

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

Numerous team shirts, scarves couple of badges and my scrap book made up of tickets from Stanley and loads of other ground's obscure non league programs and my three signed team sheets from winning guess the gate.

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

Probably my Hollands centenary shirt & of course my league 2 champions badge

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

shirts and title winning memorabilia will always be up there in the land of greatness;

Mine is a bit more obscure possibly, and isn’t really memorabilia as such .... (cheating because it’s my thread haha)

Being employed by ASFC. Having a contract, wage slip, staff badge.
Definitely up there with my most cherished items.
As a kid I always wanted to be a footballer.
Almost made it but just wasn’t quite good enough.
Being employed by a football club is a close second.

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

Well Josh, I'm also proud of working on a matchday (10am till 7pm), having a staff badge, no contract, and not getting paid. LOL.
There's more than 10 of us do it.
However my favourite bit of memorabilia I had, I had for just 48 hours. When we were presented with the League 2 trophy, I got to take it home for the weekend. Slept with it that night lol.

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

mine is a tattoo of the Late Mike Fergeson "FERGY" on my arm its summat that never wears out lol

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

You’re a good man Mr H!
Sleeping with the league trophy - can’t get better than that x

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

Rob was my "safe house"

I'd signed the forms to "accept" the trophy from the EFL, had to watch it with a close eye; very difficult after a beer or two;) The EFL guy told me don't forget to insure the trophy !!

Had to remove it from a few silly people but when questioned the day after I knew where it was!!

What happened after the Town Hall do I really don't want to know!!

Well done Yozzer who finally admitted it was at his house in Liverpool !!

The rest of the story can't be published, but the plan worked without it (the trophy) going to Birmingham Airport:)

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

memories.

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

It involved Andy Holt chasing after a taxi after a few a Players took it from the Town Hall!

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

I have a badge that my mum found in a market in Benidorm of all places. Probably not that old, but it shows we get around a bit!

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

Bet there's no more than 1 of these knocking about

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

Also, every shirt from 1990 onwards... home away and third, including Andy Procs first shirt, Paul Mullins last, numerous signed, squad signed, Coley's one and only England shirt etc

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

Gazillions of badges (none of the recent match badges though), 20 odd scarves, Rob Elliots penalty saving Woking glove, Dunbavin gloves, medals, signed footballs, paintings, hundreds of programmes, newspaper cuttings ........... MrsaGod is rather sick of it all tbh

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

Any book by Darren Woodhead with my name in :D

My Stanley Fifa home shirt (Welch) from one of the early home games once we got back in the league.

My 50th Birthday present shirt signed by everyone with my name on

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

Almost forgot my Rory Prendergast signed white Nike shirt, my 'organic' Russell Payne shirt engrained with authentic muck from the hallowed turf & my Unibond Premier league winners keepsake medal, engraved on the back with the wrong date - all priceless

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

Working in Market Hall shop, I have had a few supporters showing this medal...... amazing that wrong date on reverse!!
Is it right that only 100 were made available to purchase at the time?
And how much were they then?
Hazard a guess as to current worth, not that any proud owners would be willing to sell?

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

Yes, there were only 100 & they cost £10 each - no idea what, if anything, they'd be worth now but wouldn't part with mine for the world

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

doubt they,d fetch much to be honest. worth more to you i,m sure than a collector would pay. actually surprises me how little football memorabilia is worth unless its pre 1950 or international caps or fa cup winners medals.

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

I hate 'collecting' but just help myself. People have offered to buy my shirt collection but even at a tenner each its worth about ten times what ive been offered!

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

I’ll give you more mate :tongueout:tongueout:tongueout

Re: Stanley Memorabilia
 

non collectors just do not and never will understand collectors. words like, you can only wear one shirt at a time and can only drive one car at a time has been levelled at me but goes through one ear and out the other. i,m not hurting anybody apart from my own pocket.
