Signed programme, Wrexham v Man U 1957 - RedPassion.co.uk

The Only Way Is Up · 16th October 2018, 13.52:36

Signed by (Sir) Matt Busby and seven of the United players, this programme from an iconic match in Wrexham's history will be auctioned next Saturday. More details at Rare Wrexham AFC v Manchester United programme signed by Busby Babes goes under the hammer | The Leader

Is there an opportunity there for a bit of fundraising?

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).

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 !!!!

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.

I wouldn't go that far!

But it will be interesting to see what the final bid is.
