Middlesex Wanderers Association Football Club was formed in 1905 and is a Club that is synonymous with touring, having already completed well over 100 tours to 44 Countries during its history. The Club`s constitution sets out three objectives: To promote a good fellowship among football clubs and other sporting organisations throughout the world; To send teams of British footballers on tours abroad; To play occasional football games in the British Isles and such other games as the Executive Committee may approve. The Club`s origins date back to 1905 when two brothers, Bob and Horace Alaway, founded Richmond Town Wanderers with the specific purpose of performing `missionary work` in Europe where football was still in its relative infancy. Initially success was achieved through using local amateur players but with the continuing improvements of standards abroad it became necessary to strengthen touring parties by extending the scope of selection farther afield. In order to enhance the reputation of the Club its name was changed to Middlesex Wanderers in 1912 and tours were regularly made to different European countries. The extent of the Club`s reputation in the inter-war years is reflected in the fact that invitations were received from every part of Europe. The fiftieth tour to Turkey in 1939 was the first occasion on which it ventured outside the continent. Until that matches were generally played against clubs, many of whom have subsequently achieved prominence on the post-war European football scene, such as Ajax and PSV Eindhoven in Holland and Barcelona in Spain. Co-Founder Bob Alaway kept a meticulous chronicle of the club`s recording each occasion, tour and match and collecting autographs of the participants. Sadly, Volume One is absent but offered here are Volumes Two, Three and Four covering the period from the Annual Club Dinner in January 1926 to a final entry made four a Tour of Holland in May 1949. The result is a staggering collection of autographs from the period. Middlesex Wanderers FC History Source: Keith Masters, Honorary Secretary, the club website.
SCARCE: The Northern Football Annual 1876, For Lancashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Warwickshire, Westmoreland etc., edited by the author of "Football In The North", contents including a preface, The Rugby Game by Ernest E. Marriott, The Forthcoming Season of 1876-77 by the Editor, The Association Game by "Verona", The Sheffield Association, The Rugby Football Union, Principal Matches Played in the North during the Season 1875-76, List of Secretaries` Names & Addresses, List of about 450 Noted Players with one-line summaries of their playing style etc., printed by E. Hulton & Co., Manchester, 1876, rebound by R. Riviere & Son Ltd, with original paper wrappers preserved, for Henry Sotheran Ltd., London. This extremely scarce annual was the first to focus on football in the North of England-with football at this time meaning equally the Association and Rugby Union games. Its scarcity means that it is not recorded in John M. Jenkins authoritative work A Rugby Compendium, published by The British Library, 1998; or Peter Seddon`s A Football Compendium, published by The British Library, 1999. The only earlier football annuals are the seldom seen John Lilywhite`s Football Annual, edited by C.W. Alcock, published in London in 1868, with this single issue then being continued by The Football Annual, edited by Alcock, and first published in London in 1869. Whilst north of the border the Scottish Football Association produced their first annual in 1875-76. The content of Alcock`s annuals tended to be south-centric and focusing on the Public Schools. It seems certain that as a response to this, a rival publication was launched in Manchester in 1876 focusing on the already heavily evolved football scene in the north of England. In The Northern Football Annual`s preface it is stated "Considering the number and importance of Football organisations throughout the Northern, as distinct from the Southern, Counties, it seems strange that our task has not long ago been anticipated ... It gives us great pleasure to lay before the Football players of the North of England the first issue of an Annual devoted to their favourite sport, and which we believe will be a compendium of the utmost value to those whose interest in the game is not bounded by the limits of the particular club to which they belong." Despite its good intentions, perhaps it was not a commercial success and abandoned after the inaugural publication. This would certainly go a long way to explaining the scarcity of The Northern Football Annual.

An Elkington & Co. silvered charger awarded to T.D. Ross for motor racing, late 19th century stamped with Design Registration No.10352, electroplated and decorated with an Adonis holding a scroll and laurel wreath, riding a winged horse surrounded by cherubs, the scene embossed in high relief, held under glass within a custom made circular wooden frame, overall diameter 56cm., 22in., not engraved but sold with a letter of provenance (2) T.D.
