As a side issue (and by no means is this meant as a criticism of Kevin Rayne) how does such an item end up on ebay? I don't know the circumstances of the 'disposal' from twinnie, but I thought that Wembley was THE big day in the playing career of a player (win or lose) and this item would be the ultimate representation of this, other than the medal (the shirt is more personal). Lots of players past and present in many teams would give their soul to play in such a match and all the trappings that go with it. If it was mine and I'd played at Wembley then it would be the last thing to go, I'd get rid of mi other half and the kids first (probably get more money for the shirt as well).
When our players get there (and win) I hope that they will keep their shirts in a special place and be able to allow 'special viewings' for their grandkids.
Perhaps we see it different as supporters, but at least it gives us 'commoners' the chance to own (if you can afford it).

Its gone up

i so like the end to that story that harris gave the shirt back because as i understand it he appreciated it was priceless!

The story I heard was that he knew the player had three children, and so he returned it when we got there again in 1963

thats it your right!

the full story was in the book "up and under"

he turned up with it wrapped up in brown paper to give it back as a pressie!
i just looked!


so richard harris is therefore cool and a top bloke!

He was a decent bloke if you met him at the right time.

I hope whoever buys this donates it to the Trinity Museum assuming one is set up at the new ground. If I put in the highest bid then that is where it will go to.

I'm sorry, but if it's my winning bid, it's going in a frame and on my wall.

When you compare it with the price of a new shirt for this season, hot off the press from China or wherever, and with no history whatsoever, then you have to say that at it's current price, it's still a bargain (and no, I don't live in or know anyone from Bognor Regis ).

A signed Mark Field shirt? I can think of someone who may want one, but I'm sure his love child has already signed a few for his collection. I'd take one, but it wouldn't fit me...

The Germans, bless 'em, have an expression called "lover's price" (no swear-filter editing involved) to classify items like this. In other words, it's worth as much as it's worth to you. To me, it's worth more than the price paid for the Lewis shirt you mentioned, but I'm not a collector, so won't be paying it.

looks like bidder 7 is hell bent on this £180 and a new bid on

great shirt worn by one of my all time fav players
