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.
A silver FIFA 1934 World Cup medal, designed by Abel Lafleur, inscribed F.I.F.A., WORLD CUP, ROMA, GIUGNO 1934 Article 1 of FIFA's 1934 World Cup Technical Rules concerns amongst other things the presentation of medals. It is stated that "Each National [Football] Association, taking part in the final competition, is entitled to receive 11 silver medals." What is being offered here is one of these FIFA silver medals as presented to National Football Associations at the 1934 World Cup. The medal is the same Abel Lafleur design as the winning players received, although the footballers were awarded gold versions - see lot 931 as an example. Between 1930 and 1950 only players from the winning XI received any form of medal. The silver FIFA medals were last presented to National Associations at the 1950 World Cup and there is no record of any official presentations to F.A.'s in 1954. In Sweden in 1958 the participating Associations received a souvenir plaque, and the nations finishing 1st, 2nd & 3rd additionally received a diploma. In 1966 the award of a diploma was extended to the 4th place team. These arrangements have stayed in place unchanged to the present day.

Ron Staniforth England 1954 World Cup participation medal, the obverse inscribed CHAMPIONNAT DU MONDE, COUPE JULES RIMET EN SUISSE, 1954, the reverse inscribed RON STANIFORTH, ENGLAND; sold together with an unnamed example of the 1954 participant's medal but in the original paper box inscribed FIFA, 1904-1954 (2) None of the 1954 World Cup participation medals were engraved to a particular individual, so Ron Staniforth is likely to have organised this himself on his return to England.

Frank Mac Dermot, Author, Politican, His Archive Frank MacDermot (1886-1975): Frank MacDermot was the youngest son of Hugh Hyacinth MacDermot, Prince of Coolavin, a distinguished lawyer who served under Gladstone as Solicitor General for Ireland in 1886 and Attorney General for Ireland in 1892-95. He grew up fully aware of his Gaelic heritage, his Catholic faith, and his family's involvement with the law and politics. Throughout his life he was committed to the cause of a self-governing, thirty-two-county Ireland, and was prepared to steer his own route towards that goal. In 1910 he joined the United Irish League of William O'Brien, which aimed to solve Ireland's problems by bringing together parties of all opinions. He campaigned on behalf of Home Rule, and was a member of the Liberal Party's Home Rule Committee. He served with distinction during the Great War, ending with the rank of major. His reaction on learning of the 1916 Rising was that it scuppered any chance of achieving a united Irish state. In 1932 he was elected an Independent TD for Roscommon. He was a founder of the Centre Party, which coalesced with Cumann na nGaedeal to form the United Ireland Party. He initially supported General O'Duffy as leader of the new Fine Gael Party, but soon withdrew his allegiance as O'Duffy's eccentricities became more apparent. He also resigned from Fine Gael when it attacked de Valera for supporting the League of Nations sanctions against Italy following Mussolini's invasion of Abyssinia. In 1937 MacDermot played a major part in the debates on the new constitution. A rapprochement with de Valera followed, and was one of the Taoiseach's nominees to the new Seanad Éireann in 1938. He opposed Ireland's neutrality during the War, claiming that it was in the country's best interests to support the Allies and that the victorious Nazis would not hesitate to snuff out an independent Irish state. He resigned as a senator in 1942 and lived for the next few years in New York. Thereafter he played little part in Irish affairs, living mostly in Paris until his death at the age of 89. His views, for so long derided as old-fashioned, have been justified by time - in particular, his disapproval of the increasingly narrow Catholicism of the new state, his pursuit of social justice for minorities, and his firm belief that the "Irish Question" would only be resolved by involving all parties, North and South. The Archive contains the following: * Typescript: "The Maidstone Trials" Carbon copy of typescript of article entitled "The Maidstone Trials of 1798: an insight into Franco-Irish relations 1797-1798." * Reviews of Frank MacDermot's biography of Wolfe Tone (1939) "Press cuttings." An album containing press reviews and correspondence relating to MacDermot's book Theobald Wolfe Tone: A Biography (London, Macmillan, 1939). * "Ireland and the War", 1941-1942 · Article by Frank MacDermot entitled "Ireland and the War" published in The Saturday Evening Post, 29 November 1941 (the last issue, as it turned out, before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States into the War). · Cassette tape recording of broadcast made by Frank MacDermot in the USA in 1942 entitled "Ireland and the War" * Sir Roger Casement and his diaries (12 items, mainly 1956-57)) This file contains original letters, copy letters, news cuttings of letters, book reviews and an extract from Hansard relating to the Casement controversy.

It appeared in five instalments in The Irish Times in January 1974, a year before his death. The file also contains a letter from McInerney to MacDermot, and several newspaper obituaries, including a perceptive appreciation by Terence de Vere White. * World War One Medals Mc Dermott's Medal Set and Miniatures, together with the associated Certificates. * A comprehensive and important Collection, w.a.f.

Assurance Co., 1921 Anniversary T'ment. Won by Tipp. J. Kickham." The loop suspension flanked either side with engraved shamrock. In immaculate condition. (1) * This medal was awarded to Jack Kickham (C.J. Kickhams Club of Mullinahone) who played full forward for Tipperary on that faithful day. Jack was born at Ballydavid, Mullinahone into a farming family and community where he remained up to his death. He was a member of the Mullinahone Team that brought the first ever Senior County Football Title to the Village in 1912. He progressed to become a full member of the Tipperary County Team along with his club mate Ned Egan. They were narrowly defeated by Kerry in the Munster semi-final of 1919, a match that took place on May 25th, less than a fortnight after the Knocklong Rescue of Sean Hogan by Sean Treacy, Dan Breen and others, in which two policemen were killed. After this incident, South Tipperary became an armed camp and all G.A.A. and other Sporting Activities ceased. Jack was a quiet man and reputed to be one who avoided the limelight at all costs, but one who would have surely won more honours from his sporting prowess except for the turbulent times that existed when he was in his prime. Nevertheless, he will forever be remembered with pride in his native village. An extremely rare memento of this extraordinary day in Irish & G.A.A. History.
