Leeds United Wristband
We have had a request via e-mail as an appeal to see if someone has a set of Leeds United wristbands similar to the ones in the article above. If you have and you are prepare to sell then please contact us by e-mail with the price you will let them go for and we will put you in touch with the potential buyer.
I have not seen anything like these for years.
Below is a unique piece of sporting history of a Leeds legend.
It is a John Charles signed framed international cap from a time when the players would only receive one international cap per season. His international career started in 1950 when he made his debut against Northern Ireland at 18 years and 71 days becoming the youngest ever player to play for Wales. A record that he held until 1992.
He played 38 times for his country scoring 15 goals, his last appearance being in 1965.

If you have a unique piece of Leeds memorabilia that you want to tell us about or if you wish to sell then contact us and we can promote it for you on the site.
We have had an e-mail from a fan with a picture of some Russian Dolls picked up as a reminder of our European ventures to Russia in 1999. We think they must be in Rolf Harris style – Have you guessed who they are yet? If you think you know who they are e-mail in to us.

We will put the answers on the blog for the next home game
First Leeds United programme fair of teh season will be held on 28th September 2008 at Elland Road, in Howards Way which is located in the John Charles Stand. The fair will take place from 10.30 to 1.30.
An auction took place today, 28th August 2008, in Coleshill, Birmingham, of 934 lots of Sporting memorabilia, much of which was football programmes.
One such lot, was a collection of 6 Leeds home programmes as follows
1947/48 versus Brentford
1948/49 versus Luton Town
1948/49 versus Newport County (FA Cup)
1949/50 versus Brentford
1957/58 versus Arsenal
And one away programme from the 1949/50 season at Bradford Park Avenue
The auctioneers guide price was £60/£80 but the item sold for £160
We are hoping to get some older programmes than we have in our shop very soon so keep an eye out.
