I have been out at a match today-yes, you guessed....at Penistone Church FC, who play in the Sheffield and Hallamshire Premier. Actually this was their "Reserves". Not much to write about as the results roll in from "national" leagues, so I am doing it again...yes, here's a "blog" from a while back....beware this is historic!
It was "Cold Feet" (remember the TV series success?) last night that got me going, when James Nesbitt and his "family" try to go to Old Trafford to watch a United game. Actually things don't work out because they happen to acquire some dodgy tickets. So they all end up in a pub but the point is, that Nesbitt's son, in the drama, is wearing a number 7 "Best" shirt.
On 13th September 2006, George Best's no 7 shirt, the one he wore when he scored 6 in the 2-8 drubbing of Northampton Town in the 5th Round of the FA Cup on February 7th 1970, went up at auction and fetched £24,000.
Originally the shirt was put up as a prize in a "national newspaper" and after ten years, the owner stuck it into Christies for auction. Not a bad return for the price of a newspaper.
Other memorabilia at the same sale included Bobby Moore's last Fulham league shirt, selling at £3,600 and in 1970 an FA Cup winners medal won by Ron Chopper Harris of Chelsea, which went for £13,200.
