chunky 6,091 Posted May 20, 2022 Seeing a discussion on another thread about an old 'Ammers t-shirt, what is your fave old speedway memorabilia? I have an old Wimbledon scarf. Nothing fancy or printed, just a hand-knitted red and yellow scarf. What makes it special is that it was given to me as a kid by Art Maidment, Cyril's brother. It is well over 50 years old... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,977 Posted May 20, 2022 I do have quite a lot of memorabilia and a fair amount would be considered favourite But most spcial favourite is i guess my old Dons Olle Nygren rosette, as it is the very first piece of speedway memorabilia my parents bought me 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Knight 9,039 Posted May 20, 2022 My favourite piece of memorabilia is a 1964 Sunderland 'Saints' complete with year bar. I also have a winged wheel Peter Craven badge which I love. I don't think it is that old though.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,106 Posted May 20, 2022 As well as the 'Ammers t-shirt mentioned in the op and all my old programmes from 1960 onwards, I still have my orange and black New Cross scarf as well as some draw tickets from the good old days when Ernie Hancock was secretary of the New Cross Supporters' Club. I donated my New Cross badge to The British Museum as I knew someone who worked there at the time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lefty 1,266 Posted May 21, 2022 I have a plastic penguin from the centre green at Costa Mesa, that was made up to look like a referee as it's painted with black and white vertical stripes!!! The US customs checked it out and were suprised that there was no packages stuffed inside. However my mates prize winning super large 'Las Vegas' Teddy Bear had the razor blade treatment. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I asked for people to name their favourite memorabilia. NOT ONCE did I ask for people to tell me that they didn't have any memorabilia... 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
