A LICHFIELD auctioneer is hoping to score a big price as a collection of football programmes goes under the hammer this week.
Spanning half a century of the beautiful game, they will be sold by Richard Winterton Auctioneers.
They cover games including the English Football League, international teams, testimonials and World Cup fixtures.
Also going under the hammer are collectable sticker albums, cards, souvenirs, scarves, football annuals, autobiographies and related books.
The timed online auction starts on 4th July and ends on 14th July 14.
Auctioneer Ben Winterton said:
“There is a mass of different teams spanning multiple generations – there’s a programme for every generation of football fan.
“Every now and then you see collections of true enthusiasts and this most certainly fits into that category.
“It was especially fascinating to look through earlier programmes and see players who would become familiar household names later in their careers.
“We were all so impressed by the dedication it has taken to amass this collection and it will doubtless go on to be treasured by other members of the footballing community.”
The sale can be viewed online from 5pm on 5th July.
