AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL, LONDON 1908, the obverse inscribed 'Olympic Games, London 1908', the edge inscribed 'Winner Association Football' and signed V&S and Vaughton, 15ct gold mounted, hallmarked for Birmingham 1907, accompanied by the original fitted case, inscribed 'Olympic Games, Winner, Association Football, London, 1908' to the cover and signed P. Vaughton & Sons, Goldsmiths & Medallists, Birmingham to the interior lining, and a later brooch mount, medal diameter 3.3cm Provenance: Awarded to Harold Payne Hardman, player in the Great Britain association football team at the 1908 Olympic Games, held in London. Thence by descent. The 1908 Olympic Games in London hosted the first official Olympic Football Tournament, following trials in Athens (1896), Paris (1900) and St Louis (1904). Eight teams entered the competition and the host team, Great Britain, were victorious in the gold-medal Final match held on 24 October, securing a 2-0 win against Denmark in front of 8,000 supporters at White City Stadium. Bertram Mackennal was commissioned to design the medals awarded at the 1908 Olympic Games. The obverse depicts two female figures placing a laurel crown on the head of a victorious athlete, and on the reverse, the figure of St George, patron saint of England, is depicted on horseback and accompanied by the winged figure of Victory. Each medal was minted by Vaughton & Sons in Birmingham and this design represents one of only three in the history of the modern Olympic Games, (the others being held in 1904 and 1912), in which the gold medals were manufactured in gold, rather than silver-gilt. Harold Payne Hardman (4 April 1882 - 9 June 1965) was a football player, club director and chairman. Born in Manchester, Hardman was discovered by Blackpool as a schoolboy, despite suffering periods of ill health during his childhood. Making his Football League debut on 8 September 1900, he played on the left and sometimes right wings. Hardman signed for Everton in 1903 for a fee of £100, appearing in the 1906 and 1907 FA Cup Finals, before joining Manchester United during the following year, and subsequently Bradford City and Stoke. A solicitor by trade, practising in Manchester, Hardman was capped four times for the full England football team, in addition to his appearances for the Great Britain amateur team. Hardman's association with Manchester United lasted for much of his life. Appointed a director from 1912 until 1931, and again from 1934, he served as Chairman of the club from 1951 until his death in 1965. During his tenure Manchester United achieved several League Titles, an FA Cup trophy, and joined the newly-created European Cup competition in 1956. This period notably saw the creation of the famous 'Busby Babes' team, a collection of young and very talented footballers developed by the club itself, under the management of Sir Matt Busby. Hardman was Chairman at the time of the Munich air disaster on 6 February 1958, which claimed the lives of 23 people, including eight players and three non-playing staff, and ended the careers of two other players due to injury. His poignant response to the disaster was published on the front page of the 'United Review' match programme, against Sheffield Wednesday, on 19 February 1958, 'Here is a tragedy which will sadden us for years to come, but in this we are not alone.. Although we mourn our dead and grieve for our wounded, we believe that great days are not done for us... The road back may be long and hard but with the memory of those who died at Munich, of their stirring achievements and wonderful sportsmanship ever with us, Manchester United will rise again.'

The Burridge family were stonemasons in Devon who built Withycombe Raleigh Church, Bicton Church, the Bath House on the seafront at Exmouth and the terrace of Victorian houses on the front at Exmouth. Edward Burridge left Exmouth in 1905 at the age of twenty and travelled to New Zealand and onto Fiji where he helped build houses for missionaries. Whilst travelling to obtain supplies in Australia he noticed that the Australian Army were gathering and was soon brought up to date with the outbreak of WWI. After delivering the building supplies back to Fiji, Edward Burridge returned to Australia and joined the 2nd Battalion AIF. He took part in the landings at Galipoli and then served in Egypt for a short while before serving in France. During a short period of leave he returned to Exmouth and took the opportunity of marrying a local girl he had met 16 years earlier. At the end of the war he was returned to Australia to be de-mobbed and travelled around New Guinea taking numerous photographs. During his time travelling, both prior and after the war, he encountered many different tribal cultures including several with cannibalism.

Married Edith Ellen Blackmore of Exmouth on 27th April 1905. They had a son, James, born 1907 and a daughter, May, born 1909. Edith Ellen died in 1932 and it is likely that William B Rendle remarried another Edith (Edith Josephine Shiels) in 1939.He served on many ships and was widely travelled, returning to the Devonport area with his wife and daughter from South Africa on the Dunluce Castle having been put on the retired list from active service as of 7th October 1925.

This appointment was terminated 7 January 1945. He died 4th December 1947 at the age of 71. His estate totalled £134.12s.10d.In 1915 he was serving on HMS Jupiter and on the 5th February 1915 Jupiter was detached from her guard ship duty to serve temporarily as an icebreaker at Arkhangelsk, Russia, while the regular icebreaker there was under refit. Jupiter made history by becoming the first ship ever to get through the ice into Arkhangelsk during the winter, her February arrival was the earliest in history there.
