Surely that's too easy, has to be the FA Cup Final song Let's Dance and the three players who spoke on the intro.

Excellent collection by the way, some cracking pics and shirts. I regret giving some of mine away over the years, right up there with flogging my original Star Wars toys at a car boot sale!

of course its easy, but thats my plan . pretty mad maybe lol
 
I don't suppose you have an Adidas home shirt from 1977/78 with the crew neck?

Number 1 on my wants list

Great collection btw (y) :)
 
Fantastic collection. Agree the prices of Boro retro shirts have gone through the roof.
I have also noticed reduced stock levels from main dealers eg Classic Football shirts. The auction for the Brentford away Poppy shirts ended yesterday with the majority sold for well over £300. The Marvin Johnson shirt sold for a staggering £426.
 
I was showing Erimus74 some shirts I have. I have quite a big collection, mainly evening gazette, heritage hampers, including a few blue and white ones. I'm sure I have one of those 77 shirts. I really need to download that app to post pictures on here. I wouldn't even have a clue how many I have
 
Sounds mad, but I have wrote to the British legion personally about the shocking profits being made by their decision to allow uncapped fees of 21% on these auctions.

On some of these shirts the selling website has made in excess of 1k in profit from someone's donation.


My grandad spent many years raising money for this charity and would often volunteer for them. Raising a few hundred £ a month.


Yet its acceptable for a football shirt to sell for 7.5k and the charity lose 1.5k in fees just for processing and posting out a football shirt.


I dont deny that they have admin charges, but their fee should be capped for the work they do with an acceptable margin.

I just find it odd the legion think its dependable.

Works out they have been billed about 100k for posting out about 600 shirts. Which means on average each shirt incurred a fee to market clean and ship of 166 a shirt.


Just my rant, I also wonder which boro fans think £300 a shirt is good value.

The £300 is up to the individual, if they want the shirt enough they'd be willing to pay that amount
 
Erimus, I agree, its the destination of the money that has upset me. So the average fee taken for the boro auctions was 70 to 80 per shirt. Remember this was simply to collect 14 shirts, wash them , list them and post back out. Ours isn't bad but that fee should be capped to ensure as much goes to the charity and not to line someone's pocket.

As for 300 a boro shirt thats up to the individual. I have some great shirts and would never pay over 150.
 
The value of a shirt is at the end of the day what someone is prepared to pay for it. To me it’s all about provenance and with these shirts you know they are 100% genuine in a known game. Matchworn shirts were clever in maximising bids as if you put a bid in within last 15 mins of auction closing then the time on the auction would be extended by another 15 mins.

Hi boro_shirts, I wasn't getting at you mate, good points raised
 
Looking through the programme of my first Boro game. Home against Liverpool 1sr November 1975. Watched from the boys end. At the back of the programme is the club shop price list. £3.30 for an 42 inch shirt.
Erimus you may recall the match. Cracking line up for Boro including Souness, Hickton. Very famous Liverpool team- keegan, toshack ect.
