Irish Football Artefacts

**ForzaForth** · 27/08/2021, 8:26 AM

Just establishing here a new thread on the sale of interesting Irish football artefacts. Peter Geoffroy of Collectibles Corner (website with that name) usually has a decent amount of Irish football material in his auction sales. The sale closing today (Friday) has an FAI Cup Winners medal from 1977/78 stated to have been won by Steve Lynex at an estimate of �400. An LOI Shield Winners 9 carat gold medal from 1941/42 won by Cork United also has an estimate of �400. A Bohemians membership card from 1926/27 has an estimate of �50. Two books on the history of Home Farm are estimated at �25.

Will try to add further material as it comes up.

I have a friend who has two of the turnstiles from Milltown.

Not a name I recognise, but Graham Budd Auctions in the UK currently have 27 lots of memorabilia relating to Harry Duggan, who played for both the Irish Free State team and the then Irish team organised from Belfast. Included in the items is a fantastic Irish jersey from the 1927 game against Italy B. Born in Dublin, he played for Leeds United.

Also see that some nice memorabilia relating to Norman Hunter are also up for auction at present.

Jeez, how contrived is that?

What's wrong with "Ireland"? (Clue: It was the team's name

)

Anyhow, some more info on the boul Duggan here:

Btw, Graham Budd Auctions is the name in Sports Memorabilia in the country that illegally occupies a part of free, sovereign and independent Ireland.
