Henry Cooper's Great Britain boxing team gown from the Helsinki 1952 Olympic Games, in rose coloured silk with white trim, complete with belt, the reverse embroidered with a Union Jack flag patch inscribed OLYMPIC GAMES 1952 and white felt lettering HENRY COOPER; sold with a signed letter of provenance from Henry Cooper's nephew Neal Cooper; and a scanned picture of Cooper fighting his Soviet opponent Anatoli Petrov at the Helsinki Games (3) Neal Cooper's letter reads: My uncle, Sir Henry Cooper, wore this gown at the Helsinki Olympic Games in 1952. He was at the beginning of what would become a legendary career, having recently won the ABA championship as a light-heavyweight. He would have been so proud to wear this gown for Great Britain. Henry was defeated by the Russian, Anatoli Petrov, following a dubious decision. Onlookers said Henry had given the Russian a boxing lesson. He would turn professional two years later. The rest literally is history. Henry gave the gown to my late father, Bernard Henry Cooper, his older brother, in the 1960s and it has been in my family ever since. My father passed away last year and we have decided to put it up for auction with Graham Budd. I delivered it in person to Graham at Sotheby's on the 4th February 2016. It is our hope that it will be preserved for posterity and cherished by its new owner, just as we have cherished it.

An early gold F.A. Cup winner's medal awarded to Bill Astley of Blackburn Olympic in 1883, the obverse designed with a football in raised relief flanked by laurel, the reverse inscribed THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION, CHALLENGE CUP, 1882-3; sold with a press clipping carrying Bill Astley's obituary; and a Player's cigarette card featuring the Blackburn Olympic 1883 F.A. Cup winning team (3) This very early F.A. Cup winner's medal relates to only the 12th year in the history of the oldest football knockout competition in the world. It was also an extremely significant watershed final. For the first time the Cup's dominance by the southern amateur public school sides was broken by a northern working class team, Blackburn Olympic, who beat Old Etonians 2-1 after extra time. It was also the dawn of a new style of football, Blackburn playing the passing 'combination game', as opposed to the public schools' traditional tactics of 'rushing' and 'scrimmages.' In the 1883 F.A. Cup Final was played at The Kennington Oval in London on 31st March and drew a crowd of 8,000 spectators. Old Etonians started strongly and opened the scoring through a goal by their England international Harry Goodhart. But as the game progressed Olympic's superior fitness became apparent and equalized early in the second half through Arthur Matthews. In the 3rd minute of extra-time Jimmy Costley scored what proved to be the winning goal. Jimmy Costley. The Olympic players returned to a heroes' welcome in Blackburn with thousands turning out to cheer their boys and deafen the sounds of no less than three brass bands on the town streets. The team celebrated their success with a lunch at the Hunter's pub. Full-blown professionalism was still a year or two away, but the Blackburn Olympic victory helped light the pathway in the towns and cities of northern England. Reference books describe the recipient of this medal William Astley variously as a weaver and a newsagent. Provenance: by family descent
