You would have been a quid lighter. Not me. I thought about going higher, but my head ruled my heart.
I asked the seller some questions after people raised the collar issue, and the player who conducted the auction was Nigel Stephenson. Someone on here mentioned that he was the only other player to wear the number 6 that year, and so maybe he wore it after Wally had worn it the weeks before, kept it and then flogged it.
My view of it was that it was the shirt made for Wally Lewis, as it matches his press presentation shirt, but not actually worn to play in because the later strip had a collar on.
I hope it found a happy home, especially if it is genuine.
Now, if Neil Fox fancies a clear out of his loft to pay for his next holiday, he can pm me!!! One of his cup final shirts would look lovely on my wall.

I dunno, at least Wally played for Trinity 10 times that season. Now, if you had a genuine, worn Matt Sears shirt... |

It's only my opinion, but something like 'Dreadnoughts' (of which, I see another sold yesterday) and the 100 years book, and booklets such as 'Trinity's Wembley Triumphs' and the Harold Poynton benefit book (Challenge for the Championship?) and great pieces of history - a shirt signed by the team which finished 11th is not. (I got one from the 2001 team, which did the same, for a fiver!)
I shall be adding to that Dreadnoughts thread again shortly, I found more great pictures and bits to scan!'"  keep them coming |

Given the general interest in this thread, I've linked it to the important announcements thread at the top of the board for future reference. |

You need to dig into your wardrobe, because someone just paid £280 for your old shirt! |

| Quote: The Biffs Back "What a bargain
Wally Lewis is the best RL player that i have ever seen in my lifetime
That shirt would have looked great framed in my conservatory........
alongside my 2002 Sydney Roosters GF winning shirt signed by the whole squad
And my Newcastle Knights shirt signed by Andrew and Mathew Johns, I'm gonna get Danny Buderus to add his signature and get that framed as well ![]()
Have to agree with you re greatest player , thank goodness I have a Broncos shirt signed by him

That's something to treasure, and at least you know the signature is real. For £280, I'd want similar guarantees. If it's the real thing, then, as The Biff says, it's a rugby league collector's bargain. |

Something to reflect on:
www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009 ... -obsession
Interesting piece for the collectors amongst you. I know the guy's a Spurs fan, but one bit struck a particular chord:
"you don't support Spurs because they win everything in sight. It's not a declaration of faith in the club, but a declaration of faith in yourself – that you can retain some constancy in your life even when things are, well, ."
Swap Spurs for Trin and I'm sure most of us would say Mr Grace is bob on there. |
