Memorabilia

I'm sure we all have loads of County memorabilia we have accumulated over the years. What are the best bits you have. Mine include:
1) Charlie Griffin's signed and framed match worn shirt from the 2008 FAW Premier cup final against Llanelli.
2) Complete set of home and away programmes from our previous last season in the league 1987/88
3) A small players handbook from 1965/6 signed for by Ken Morgans which was the rules the players had to obey. Oddly the players had to agree not to go greyhound racing on Thursday's.

What does everyone else have? I'm sure we could make a superb museum!!

Carl Zeiss Jena signed match worn shirt , a signed team photo with me in it, pennants, they signed a white leather football for me too the morning after the game........Blastards....I still gave them stick for the 'smash and grab ' raid they did on us and how much they bunged the ref because that ball was a yard over the line :evil: ( the goal the ref never gave us)...They were staying at the New Inn , Langstone and the manager arranged for me to meet them before and after the game as he knew how much of a fan I was

What year's the Jena shirt from?

My best bit of County memorabilia is (as of a few weeks ago), a matchworn Patrick away shirt from the 1980s.

Anyone with an adidas late 70s/early 80s shirt or a Patrick home shirt from early 80s for sale, drop me a PM.

No I wont ever sell to anybody at any price......unless we are talking stupid amounts of money
That is awesome. A holy grail of County tat - an iron curtain football shirt from the early 80s. Incredible. I can't even get hold of the nice adidas shirt Jena had a couple of years ago when they were sponsored by a rock band! :lol: .

My most expensive matchworn cost over £400, I don't pay anything like that for most of them though - nevertheless it just lives in a presentation box with a certificate. :o

Good Morning!

My personal piece of memorabilia is unique to myself and of no monetary value at all.
It is an old school exercise book stolen from Northamptonshire Educational Authority sometime in the 1970’s. It is within this book that the very moment in time that I started supporting Newport County is enshrined.
In blue biro, my Subbeteo success is recorded, Newport County winning the FA Cup against Barrow.
Who would have thought that small event nearly fifty years ago would have had such a huge impact on my life.
So much joy and heartache over the years, a whole surreal community of folk and even some real people I have met and become friends with.
Newport County is now part of my family and not just an eleven year olds football fantasy.., it is real..it makes me laugh..it makes me cry..

...and I love it!

Interesting. I don't have any memorabilia, but, along with the County team who did so well in the FACup against then giants Pompey ('48) I think, that County team was the one that my late dad used to go on about more than any other. He told me how the Second World War interrupted our progress.
