TOTTENHAM 1898 A very scarce piece of Tottenham Hotspur memorabilia, this item is a Tottenham Hotspur share prospectus dated April 1898. This prospectus was for the issue of shares when Tottenham Hotspur became a Limited Liability Company for the first time in 1898. This four page document notes that the members of Tottenham Hotspur voted to become a Limited Liability Company at a meeting in March 1898. Accordingly it was decided to raise £8,000 by the issue of 8,000 £1 shares, the Subscription List opening on April 7th 1898. The money raised would enable the new Company to purchase from the original Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, all the assets of the Club including Fixtures, Contracts with players, Effects and other properties of the Club. The new Limited Company would also accept responsibility for all liabilities of the Club. The prospectus also states that the new Limited Company would continue to carry on from the premises of the Club at Northumberland Park, Tottenham as the lease had been secured for three and a half years. However they also intended to purchase a suitable ground at the earliest opportunity. This , almost priceless historical document , consists of four pages and includes details of the Club to date, the uses of the money once it has been raised, details of Directors and Club Officials , Bankers, etc details of Season Ticket prices to Shareholders and Non-Shareholders and rules and regulations relating to the share issue and the objects of the new Company. The document has some ageing on approximately half of one page where it has been folded and occasional small tear along folds. Other than the defects noted, the document is in good condition and does not have any writing on it. Very rare. As described (Fair-generally good)

The photo ( black and white) was taken by J.Pettingill and whilst there is very minor damage to the corners of the board, the item itself is in good condition and once again , this is a very rare item.

TOTTENHAM An old scrapbook, 14 pages, 12 pages cover the 1901 Cup Finals between Tottenham and Sheffield United, the first game a 2-2 draw at the Crystal Palace ( in front of 114, 815) and the replay at Bolton in which Spurs triumphed 3-1 in front of 20, 740. Match reports, photos and comments are included. The back page is blank and one other page covers the 1921 path to the Final in which Spurs defeated Wolves. This scrapbook is a little worn in parts and does have faults such as small tears etc but nevertheless it is an original item full of news cuttings about the 1901 Final which brought Spurs their first FA Cup Final victory. For a Tottenham fan, it is a nice piece of ephemera. As described

NEWTON HEATH Very rare Official programme for Newton Heath Cricket and Football Club, tenth Annual Athletic Festival, Monday August 25th 1890. This 16 page programme from the forerunner of Manchester United gives details of the Club President and Vice-Presidents and all the events and competitors are listed in the following pages. The inside back cover page has the 1890-91 fixture list for Newton Heath FC who were members of the Football Alliance at this time. All fixtures for the Alliance are included together with other games arranged including three against Ardwick (Manchester City ), two v Blackpool South Shore and a game v Clapton. The programme has been laid down in the past and unfortunately there is a small hole on the fixture list where the paper has been lost upon removal. This does affect the fixtures listed for December 1890 although most are still legible (ie three out of four with the other fixture apparently against Belfast ?? on Christmas Day. The back cover has small pieces of paper attached where laid down but this does not really affect the programme or any printed areas and the remainder of this very rare item is in generally good condition, no writing, staple slightly rusty and a small amount of creasing on the centre pages. This is a very rare item from the early days of Manchester United and apart from the defects mentioned condition is generally good. As described

I`m still alive & kicking. I am quite happy out here tho` I think I can flatter myself on having seen quite a little bit of Hell. Conjure up in your mind the filthiest & most diabolical sight imaginable & you`ll be somewhere near the mark... don`t worry as I`m as fit as a fiddle, only after a time dead bodies etc. begin to smell!! & it`s beastly bumping into them at night` (letter 15, c. 30th September 1916), `I am still happy tho` I`ve seen Hell - I mean this. Real true unadulterated horror. But one can make it what one likes. I keep smiling. By your letter I see you misunderstood my appointment. I am in command of a section & not second in command of a section. The day before yesterday I was personally congratulated by the General for good work in the front line so I am feeling rather lucked about it all. These were the circumstances. On coming into the front line I found I had only three guns (the rest being either knocked out or lost) to hold a front of very nearly a mile. However there were two battalions their each having some lewis guns. So I went up to the battalion commanders (Colonels) & gently informed them that I was going to take over all their Lewis guns under my command, to which they readily agreed...`, (letter 17, 30th September 1916), `Your joke re the German emperor`s new order re socks....
