Patrick Vieira: a dark blue Arsenal No.4 Champions League jersey circa 2000/01, long-sleeved, UEFA flash to right sleeve, the reverse lettered VIEIRA. This third-choice jersey was only worn in three matches. On the first occasion this was only in the first half v Sparta Prague on 25.10.00. On the referee's orders they changed into a yellow jersey for the second half as the dark blue was clashing with the referee's own shirt. On 22.11.00 they wore the dark blue v Spartak Moscow and finally on 11.9.01 they wore the jersey again v Real Mallorca together with horribly clashing yellow shirts. It is not known in which of the three games this Vieira shirt relates.

EDWARD WILLIAM HEREFORD, R.N. (FL.1851-74), The Bombardment of Sebastopol, 17th October, 1854 at 3.35pm: H.M.S. Trafalgar's guiding paddle frigate Retribution's mast being shot away by the enemy. Signed and dated 'RIH/55' (lower right), Watercolour on paper heightened with white mounted on linen-backed card. 11I x 17Din. (29 x 44cm.), For details of H.M.S. Trafalgar please refer to lot 63 where the moment in this picture is mentioned. H.M.S. Retribution enjoyed the distinction of being the first custom-built paddle frigate in the Royal Navy and was launched in 1844. Suffering from the usual failings of any prototype, she was significantly modified in 1847-49, after which she proved a very successful ship. Sent to the Black Sea to support the fleet at the outbreak of the Crimean War, she scored the winning hit on the arsenal at Odessa during the 12-hour bombardment on 22nd April 1854, and was likewise employed off Sebastopol on 17th October the same year where she was damaged but survived until scrapped in 1864.

The intention was to make it appear that the hat had been worn on 50 flying missions, the look being the result of wearing radio earphones over the cap; A Second World War US Army Officer's Full Dress Peak Visor Cap, bronzed badge, black peak with embroidered oakleaves, gold lace chin-strap secured by two General Service gilt buttons, the silk lining 'Luxemberg, Military, Civilian Tailors'; A Second World War US Airforce Cap, blue cloth, silver piping, the silk liner marked 'Flight Ace, Ace Manufacturing Co, Inc, San Antoio, Texas'; A World War Two USAAF, Expanding Cartridge Collecting Bag, type .50 calibre Browning machine gun (aerial pattern), nose gun B17, Flying Fortress, made by Benkia, Arsenal, Ohio.
