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.

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. Ross worked on engine design for the Austin racing department for several years. Although it is not known when or where he was awarded this trophy, he always referred to it as being won as a co-driver in an Austin 7 at a motor race. However, it is on record that he finished fourth in the 750cc class as riding mechanic to S.V. Holbrook in the 1929 Tourist Trophy race held on the Ards circuit in Ireland. Thereafter Ross joined the British Anzani Engineering Company in 1931 where he went on to design the R1 (of Squire sports car fame) and R2 engines, the `R` standing for Ross

2003 Rubens Barrichello used Ferrari race-suit, signed and dated in marker pen beneath the Ferrari crest, the Velcro belt bearing his surname, an identification label to the reverse also stamped Driver: Barrichello and Team: 18/05/03, the full unexpurgated Marlboro branding displayed front and back, also carrying Shell emblems, AMD, Bridgestone, Sabelt and Vodafone logos, all relevant FIA approval markings, the Nomex suit designed by OMP and made in Italy, sold with a Barrichello Sports signed certificate of authenticity (2) Rubens Barrichello holds the record for the greatest number of Grand Prix starts, which this year exceeded the 300 mark. He is perhaps best known for his time with Ferrari and the date stamp on this suit suggests that it could have been worn at that year`s Austrian race when he finished third and also thereafter, though certainly not during the French, British, or United States races where cigarette advertising was banned. To be sold on behalf of the Action For Brazil`s Children Trust.

A silver prize medal won by Great Britain`s Bert MacDonald in the 3,000 metres team event at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, signed Andre Rivaud, the rim stamped 2. ARGENT, the obverse with a winning athlete helping a fallen athlete to his feet, with Olympic Rings, and inscribed B.H. MACDONALD, the reverse with a design of sports equipment and classical motifs surrounding the legend VIIIeme. OLYMPIADE, PARIS, 1924, and inscribed 3000 METRES TEAM, THIRD, diameter 55mm., weight 78gr.; sold together with Bert MacDonalds 1924 & 1948 Olympic Games participation medals, the 1924 example signed Raoul Bernard, the rim stamped BRONZE, the obverse with a City view of Paris over a legend reading VIIIe. OLYMPIADE, PARIS, 1924, the reverse with Victory crowing athletes with laurel wreath; the 1948 medal in bronze by B.Mackennal/J.Pinches, the obverse with a City view of London and Olympic legend, the reverse with a winning Quadriga at the Ancient Games, the three medals loosely laid down on a blue velvet lined backboard (3). Bertram "Bert" Hector MacDonald (1902-1965) was a British long-distance runner born in Kings Norton, Birmingham. MacDonald, who was a Birchfield Harrier, competed for Great Britain at the Olympic Games in Paris in 1924 in the 3,000 metres team event. Each competing nation had six runners, with the finishing positions of their top three athletes counting in the final reckoning. MacDonald finished 3rd ahead of team-mate Harry Johnston in 4th and George Webber in 7th. This was good enough to win the silver medal. Nobody, however, could compete with the outstanding Finnish team that included the peerless Paavo Nurmi, known as the `Flying Finn`, who was the sensation of the Games winning five gold medals. Nurmi`s team-mate Ville Ritola would surely have been the star of any other Olympic Games with his four gold medals, but his performances were overshadowed by Nurmi. In the 3,000 team event, Nurmi and Ritola finished 1st and 2nd respectively, whist Elias Katz came home 5th. Katz also won a silver at Paris in the steeplechase. See also lot 1205 for further material relating to MacDonald.

Paulo Francesco "Raddy" Radmilovic was born in Cardiff 5 March 1886 and was a Welsh water polo player and swimmer of Croatian and Irish origin who won four Olympic titles in a 22 year Olympic career. He won four gold medals across three successive Olympic Games (1908, 1912 & 1920), a record which stood for a GB Olympic athlete until broken by Sir Steve Redgrave when he won his fifth gold medal at Sydney in 2000. He also competed at the 1924 & 1928 Games and was the first Briton to go to five Olympic Games, a record that would remain until eclipsed by fencer Bill Hoskyns in 1976. After his international aquatic career, Radmilovic ran the Imperial Hotel in Weston-super-Mare and was said to still be swimming 400m a day at the age of 78. In 1967, he was inducted in the International Swimming Hall of Fame. He was the second water polo player (after American Wallace O`Connor) and the third Briton (after coach Matthew Mann and English Channel swimmer Captain Matthew Webb to be inducted. He was one of the original ten inductees to the Welsh Sports Hall of Fame in 1988. To celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of Radmilovic`s 1908 double-gold Olympic performances in swimming and water polo, a plaque was placed on the Cardiff International Pool to honour him. Radmilovic died in Weston-super-Mare on 19th September 1968.
