I have a wool city scarf that my uncle bought me when he took me to my first game in 1975 for my 4th birthday. It still makes the odd appearance in the cold weather.

Indeed, I have to get a memory card for my camera, then I'll get mine up.

Just remembered, I have a Cobi Jones-signed programme somewhere, it also has David Rennie's autograph on it but the swine used permanent marker and I couldn't scrape it off.

I recently added, after many years of trying, the Bayern Munich away 'programme' from our one and only season of competitive european football. I've got the Trakia away prog, signed by most of the city team who played + that of Trakia's star player of the day (Can't recall his name right now)
When the city centre used to host it's european christmas market, there was a Latvian wood carver. I asked him to commission a piece for me - It's a statuette of the old club badge of elephant on ball.
Just prior to demolition of HR, after a previous early morning recce following my night shift, to determine what type of screws were involved, I purloined a wooden sign from a wall just inside Thackhall street next to the ticket office.

Loads of stuff including programs, the Pink from various different games (Oggy's last game, the wins against the Villa, etc), cup final memorabilia. My Grandad got presented with a Trakia Plovdiv limited edition match tie that they bought over here. He was head of the ambulance service and I believe around half a dozen were presented to the club, council and emergency services.

Not City related but a few years ago I acquired Jonny Wilkinson and Elton Flatley's kits from the 2003 World Cup final (I think they both used two). Also through work I've got leathers, helmets, boots and gloves from loads of riders including Pedrosa, Rossi, Simoncelli, Lorenzo, Gardner, Kato, Rainey, Bayliss, Spencer, Sheene, Hislop, Reynolds and Hodgson.

Got loads of stuff but the smallest of them is my train ticket to the 87 Cup Final and obviously the match programme and both mean a lot.When I was a youngster I collected books,programmes,autographs,and kept them all in boxes in my bedroom.They meant everything to me but when I left home to live with my girlfriend I left them there,which turned out to be a massive error, because about a year later when I went back to collect them to my horror they'd gone.I asked my mum where were they all ? She calmly told me she'd threw them out as she thought as I was now an adult I wouldn't be bothered !! If she wasn't my mother I would have probably strangled her as I was that angry,but she said why was I making such a fuss over old stuff ? And to add insult to injury my then girlfriend called me immature for in her words :"making a mountain out of a molehill." Only other football fans would understand why I was in bits !

I've still got my train ticket too, and also the flag I bought on Cup Final day.

I think I would have had the oddest piece of memorabilia in the collection my mother lobbed out,and that was a piece of chewing gum spat out by the City winger John Key.He gobbed it out and it landed just by me, so as I was just a youngster and keen to collect anything Cov City related, I picked it up and kept it !

I got my Dad a painting of that FA Cup Final goal by Houchen and its signed by the team. Also have the FA Cup Winners tie and program, definitely my precious!
Click to expand...

I had a painting commissioned of the photo from behind the goal done by an artist who has worked on Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd album covers. I always had intentions of tracking down Houchen to sign it but never seemed to get around to it.
I was in England to pick it up and the artist arrived at the last minute while I was waiting to board a plane to Canada, shoved the picture (approx. 3ft x 2ft) into my hands and said "Be careful it's still a bit wet. We convinced the crew to carry it in the cockpit and it survived the trip and now hangs in my workshop.

Found some old copies of Sky Blue Army, most of them seem to feature Drinkell (as above), although also have the one with the Villa team represented by cocks, the one where the Club had to apologise for any offence caused.

If I could sort out how to post photos properly I'd put it on.
