A page from the official Wembley Stadium Distinguished Visitors Book signed on the occasion of the Chelsea v Charlton Athletic 1944 Football League (South) War Cup Final signed by General Dwight Eisenhower and other dignitaries, sold with a colour scan of the original front cover to the Wembley Visitors Book that was employed between 1935 and 1947; and digital archive match reports from The Times newspaper (3) The 1943-44 Season was the fourth season of special wartime football matches played in Britain during the Second World War, after normal Football League and Football Association Cup football was suspended in England in September 1939. Teams were split into a north and south regionalised system. The Southern Cup final was contested between Charlton Athletic and Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on 15th April 1944. All 85,000 tickets were sold and all players were professionals, which was not always the case during the war years. Charlton won the game 3-1 and then went on to play the Northern Champions Aston Villa in a play-off at Stamford Bridge. The game ended 1-1 and honours were shared. The Visitors Books bears signatures of some Illustrious personalities who were present at the match, and is a unique record of the Chelsea v Charlton War Cup final. Importantly, the book bears the signature of General Dwight Eisenhower who, at the beginning of 1944, had been ordered to Britain from the Mediterranean to be Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force. A photograph of Eisenhower meeting the Chelsea team on the Wembley pitch before the game was reproduced on p.596 of The Guinness Record of the F.A. Cup by Mike Collett (Guiness Publishing Ltd., 1993). Less than three months after the Chelsea v Charlton Cup final, the D-Day Landings commenced on 6th June 1944, ultimately leading to the declaration of victory on V.E. Day 8th May 1945. The following month H.M. King George VI conferred the Order of Merit on Eisenhower, who later became the 34th President of the United States of America in January 1953 and serving two terms until his retirement in 1960. He died in 1969. Other signature in the Visitors Book include: Harold Alexander (later Earl Alexander of Tunis), Supreme Allied Commander, Mediterranean Theatre of War 1944-1945; Rt. Hon.

Middlesex Wanderers Association Football Club was formed in 1905 and is a Club that is synonymous with touring, having already completed well over 100 tours to 44 Countries during its history. The Club`s constitution sets out three objectives: To promote a good fellowship among football clubs and other sporting organisations throughout the world; To send teams of British footballers on tours abroad; To play occasional football games in the British Isles and such other games as the Executive Committee may approve. The Club`s origins date back to 1905 when two brothers, Bob and Horace Alaway, founded Richmond Town Wanderers with the specific purpose of performing `missionary work` in Europe where football was still in its relative infancy. Initially success was achieved through using local amateur players but with the continuing improvements of standards abroad it became necessary to strengthen touring parties by extending the scope of selection farther afield. In order to enhance the reputation of the Club its name was changed to Middlesex Wanderers in 1912 and tours were regularly made to different European countries. The extent of the Club`s reputation in the inter-war years is reflected in the fact that invitations were received from every part of Europe. The fiftieth tour to Turkey in 1939 was the first occasion on which it ventured outside the continent. Until that matches were generally played against clubs, many of whom have subsequently achieved prominence on the post-war European football scene, such as Ajax and PSV Eindhoven in Holland and Barcelona in Spain. Co-Founder Bob Alaway kept a meticulous chronicle of the club`s recording each occasion, tour and match and collecting autographs of the participants. Sadly, Volume One is absent but offered here are Volumes Two, Three and Four covering the period from the Annual Club Dinner in January 1926 to a final entry made four a Tour of Holland in May 1949. The result is a staggering collection of autographs from the period. Middlesex Wanderers FC History Source: Keith Masters, Honorary Secretary, the club website.

A very rare and early programme for the match between the Everton `A` Team & Blackpool South Shore Team on 8th February 1890, in the form of a 4-page match card This programme must surely rank amongst the group of earliest surviving Everton programmes and dates to three seasons before Everton began playing at their newly built Goodison Park ground. It must also be one of the earliest surviving programmes involving Blackpool FC, whose history began in 1887. At this time there were two clubs Blackpool St. Johns and South Shore. At a meeting at the Stanley Arms Hotel on 26th July 1887a breakaway group then formed Blackpool FC. The two teams played against one another in the Lancashire Combination and although more successful than South Shore on the pitch they did not enjoy the same level of support. After a difficult period in League Two between 1896-97 and 1898-99, when they were not re-elected. In 1899 it was decided that the two teams should amalgamate. The name Blackpool FC was kept, but they moved into South Shore`s ground, which was Bloomfield Road. The newly combined club re-entered the Football League in 1900-01. In their own right South Shore`s greatest moment came in season 1885-86 when they pulled of the giant-killing feat of beating Football League founding member Notts County 2-1 in the 5th Round of the F.A. Cup. The cup run ended in the quarter-final with a 2-1 defeat to Swifts.

The very scarce unnumbered Manchester United v Leyton Orient postponed programme 19th January 1963, a four page emergency edition printed in black & white, inscriptions to front cover. The 1962-63 football season was savaged by a severe winter and on publication of this programme United hadn`t played since Boxing Day. As a result of producing a number of full prints runs for postponed matches, United took the precaution of producing an `emergency edition.` On the front page Matt busby apologises to supporters asking them "to accept this condensed edition of the United Review as a sign of the times!" He adds "When the weather allows us to forecast matches with some degree of certainty the full page edition will be back again!" However, there was no let up in the weather and the Leyton Orient fixture was postponed. The match was eventually rescheduled as United`s final match of the season and played on 18th May. This programme is in a group of United`s scarcest post-war issues together with the Wolves postponed from the Munich season, the Sarajevo away from the 1968 European Cup winning campaign and the away leg of the 1968 World Club Championship v Estudiantes of Argentina.

SCARCE: The Northern Football Annual 1876, For Lancashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Warwickshire, Westmoreland etc., edited by the author of "Football In The North", contents including a preface, The Rugby Game by Ernest E. Marriott, The Forthcoming Season of 1876-77 by the Editor, The Association Game by "Verona", The Sheffield Association, The Rugby Football Union, Principal Matches Played in the North during the Season 1875-76, List of Secretaries` Names & Addresses, List of about 450 Noted Players with one-line summaries of their playing style etc., printed by E. Hulton & Co., Manchester, 1876, rebound by R. Riviere & Son Ltd, with original paper wrappers preserved, for Henry Sotheran Ltd., London. This extremely scarce annual was the first to focus on football in the North of England-with football at this time meaning equally the Association and Rugby Union games. Its scarcity means that it is not recorded in John M. Jenkins authoritative work A Rugby Compendium, published by The British Library, 1998; or Peter Seddon`s A Football Compendium, published by The British Library, 1999. The only earlier football annuals are the seldom seen John Lilywhite`s Football Annual, edited by C.W. Alcock, published in London in 1868, with this single issue then being continued by The Football Annual, edited by Alcock, and first published in London in 1869. Whilst north of the border the Scottish Football Association produced their first annual in 1875-76. The content of Alcock`s annuals tended to be south-centric and focusing on the Public Schools. It seems certain that as a response to this, a rival publication was launched in Manchester in 1876 focusing on the already heavily evolved football scene in the north of England. In The Northern Football Annual`s preface it is stated "Considering the number and importance of Football organisations throughout the Northern, as distinct from the Southern, Counties, it seems strange that our task has not long ago been anticipated ... It gives us great pleasure to lay before the Football players of the North of England the first issue of an Annual devoted to their favourite sport, and which we believe will be a compendium of the utmost value to those whose interest in the game is not bounded by the limits of the particular club to which they belong." Despite its good intentions, perhaps it was not a commercial success and abandoned after the inaugural publication. This would certainly go a long way to explaining the scarcity of The Northern Football Annual.
