Is there an opportunity there for a bit of fundraising?

Re: Signed programme, Wrexham v Man U 1957
 

Real piece of history that.
Personally I'd have thought with Sir Matt's signature on it, as well as Duncan Edwards and some of the other of the Busby Babes it'd be worth more than that; though of course that's only the reserve and it may go for more (or less).

Re: Signed programme, Wrexham v Man U 1957
 

That could go for a fair whack.
Autographs including one of Duncan Edwards last signatures plus Sir Matt - just need two or more avid collectors and it's lift off - also depends on how far the net is thrown - include Manchester United & their local press and any network of programme collectors nationwide would surely generate even more interest.

I did mention this once before, but l also had a programme from this match signed by all the players (unsure about Matt Busby). My mum was Mrs D who was a tea tady and a confidant to many a young Wrexham player and she got the programme signed for me.
Years later when l left to go to college in Sheffield she had a clear out of my room which included my collection of football programmes with this pride and joy in there.
I have often wondered what it may have been worth !!!!

Remember you posting that Phil. Oh man :(

This should go for thousands. I’d never sell it if I had it mind. Priceless.

The attendance in that match will never be beaten in a million light years.
