Gaetano Scirea: a blue Italy No.6 international jersey circa 1976, long-sleeved Juventus's Gaetano Scirea is considered by many to have been one of the greatest defenders of all time and is one of only five European players to have won all international trophies contested by club sides fully recognised by UEFA and FIFA. Scirea is also one of only nine players in the history of the European football that won all three major UEFA football competitions. He played for the Italian national team for more than a decade, during which he was an undisputed member of Italy's defensive line-up, keeping Franco Baresi out of the national team for four years, until he retired in 1986. Scirea won a Wolrd Cup winner's medal in Spain in 1982. Scirea was a defender of technical skill and tactical ability, gifted with pace, and an innate capacity to read the game, and was renowned for his fair play and sportsmanship, never being red carded in his entire career. In 1989 Scirea visited Poland as an observer to watch Gornik Zabrze ahead of a UEFA Cup tie scheduled against Juventus. Tragically, he was involved in a head-on collision with a truck near Babsk and was killed on impact together with two of the three other car passengers. A Scirea Juventus jersey is being sold elsewhere in the auction as lot 912.

Jose Andrade gold Uruguay winner's medal from the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930, designed by Abel Lafleur, inscribed COUPE DU MONDE, MONTEVIDEO, JUILLET, 1930, JOSE LEANDRO ANDRADE; sold with a Christie's South Kensington auction catalogue, 19th May 2005, where this medal was purchased as lot 18 (2) José Leandro Andrade (November 22, 1901 - October 5, 1957) was a Uruguayan footballer who played at wing-half and was nicknamed "Maravilla Negra" the 'Black Marvel'. He is considered to have been one of the finest world footballers of his generation and was described as being an intelligent and honest player, who never celebrated his goals, and who was dynamic, fast and highly technical and a player who was able to dominate the pitch without despite not possessing the physicality of many of his opponents. Before turning to professional football, Andade held a number of jobs as diverse as a shoe-shiner to a carnival musician. In the early 1920s Andrade was signed by the Montevideo football Club Bella Vista where played 71 matches and scored seven goals. It was at Bella Vista that he was first selected for the national team. Andrade later moved to Nacional where he won four Uruguayan Championship titles and three national Cups. He was then transferred to Penarol in 1930 where he played 88 matches, before ending his career in Argentina with stints at Atlanta & Lanus-Talleres and a final return to Uruguay tp play for Wanderers. Jose Andrade had a magnificent international career and was a member of the great Uruguayan national team that won the gold medal in the football competition at the Paris Olympic Games in 1924 and again at Amsterdam in 1928. During the semi-final in Holland Andrade collided with a goal post seriously injuring an eye, which in time deteriorated to the point of blindness in that eye. The Uruguay team then went on to win the famous hat-trick by lifting the Jules Rimet Trophy at the inaugural FIFA World Cup held in Uruguay in 1930. At the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo Uruguay defeated arch-rivals Argentina 4-2. Andrade played in every Uruguayan match during the tournament. Andrade was an invited guest at the 1950 World Cup to witness his national team winning the World Cup for the second time, but sadly as the decade progressed he became an alcoholic and died in necessitous circumstances after contracting tuberculosis in Montevideo in 1957. Player's FIFA World Cup medals: Between 1930 and 1950 only footballers who played on the winning side in the final tie received a medal, struck in gold. From 1954 losing finalists received a silver-gilt medal, and the winning 3rd/4th play-off XI received a silver medal. From 1966 FIFA awarded the 4th placed team bronze medals. In 1974 a new trophy was introduced after Brazil were allowed to keep the original Jules Rimet Trophy having won it for a third time in 1970. The design of the FIFA World Cup medal, although it had minor stylistic changes over the years, was also replaced in 1974 with a new design by Bertoni. However they were still struck in gold, silver-gilt, silver & bronze for the 1st to 4th place teams. In 1978 FIFA increased the quantity of medals for the top 4 teams from 11 to 25, so for the first time squad players as well as the primary coaching staff would be suitably awarded. In 1986 the silver-gilt version was discontinued, the runners-up receiving instead a silver medal whilst both teams who contested the 3rd/4th Place match were awarded the bronze version. From 1990 onwards the story is one of ever increasing quantities of medal issues by FIFA with sufficient examples for presentation to those with duties beyond playing and coaching staff. At Italia '90 32 were struck with this figure rising to 40 at France '98, although they were now only awarded for the champions, runners-up & the winners of the 3rd/4th Place match, the loser of this game just receiving a diploma. Four years later in Korea/Japan the medal count rose to 45 for the 1st-3rd teams, with the 4th place side being presented with an unspecified "award". This continued in 2006 where for the first time match officials were also presented with medals, including those officiating the 3rd/4th Place play-off. In 2010 the FIFA medal count (excluding officials) reached a 'half century', and the number remained at 50 at the last World Cup in Brazil in 2014.

PROUST MARCEL: (1871-1922) French Novelist and Essayist. Best known for his major novel A la Recherche du Temps Perdu (`In search of Lost Time´). Autographe 5.5 x 4 envelope by Proust to (`Monsieur Jacques de Delgado, 6 rue Greuze´), n.p., n.d. [1920]. Slightly damaged to the upper edge because of the opening. VG £300-400 At the 6 rue de Greuse was situated the hotel belonging to the Countess Elzéard de Boigne and to her two sons. Proust read with interest since they were edited in 1907 the Countess de Boigne memories, and as a result of this she inspired the young writer to create the character of Madame Beausergent in his masterwork A la recherché du temps perdu (`In search of Lost Time´) Proust wrote to Jacques de Delgado `..at a certain moment, in the middle of the confusion of a tumult in the day by day bar situations, not being used to it, I had the hope to be mixed up in some way to what I thought first was a game but was in fact a quarrel. I say that I had the hope, not even because I considered a fight in a café… inconsistent with my sense of taste, my age and my health, but because I glimpsed the opportunity I wished so much..: a duel.´ This duel never took place because, as Proust explained later, his friends (may be the Countess de Boigne´s sons) explained and convinced him that it was out of consideration. On a further letter to Delgado, Proust stated `..immersed in a perpetual doubt, which the forgetfulness will finish with. In any case, the high sentiments you have expressed and testified in your letter give me the pleasure that I would have had after a duel (and without having been necessary to previously croiser le fer avec vous)..´
