I had a bruise on my shin for several weeks where John King kicked me in a friendly (ha!) game - Alty FA Trophy 1978 winners vs supporters - if it was a competitive game I'd surely still have the bruise, if not a leg in 2 pieces

I've got the toy plastic tin foil FA trophy that the players were holding at the celebration day in 1986 that they lobbed into the crowd!

[im not really here]

Until I moved house recently I had an empty bottle of Lanson from the eve of the Emley game which won us promotion from Unibond League in 1999.

From Euro 96...i have one of the huge Coca Cola banners that hung off the lamp-posts around the city centre.

This particular example was hung on a lamp-post on Corporation Street in Manchester...and if you remember correctly...someone set off a rather large firework in the immediate vicinity at that time.

So my pretty rare banner from that great tournament is seriously pot-holed from various pieces of shrapnel that tore right through it in the immediate aftermath of the IRA bomb. Dunno why i kept it!?

A "keep off the pitch" sign from Christie Park that happened to fall off the front of the stand at the end of the last game to played there. Same thing happened to me at Saltergate the week before. Uncanny eh?

Come on Rockie, thought you'd have weighed in with your incorrectly spelt signage.....give me a G

Somewhere I have a team sheet from Mohun Bagan FC (Kolkatta) first game in their (then) new Salt Lake Stadium.  It will have been 1986ish.  I can't recall who they played but there was an ex-Arsenal player playing that night.

Ive got a moldy joe corrigan boot, if anyone wants it they can have it

Ah yes how could I have been so slow.

I have the 10ft sign board from Woking, red with Altringham in white letters. The G was fixed on the train home, and it now sits proudly at the bottom of my garden despite the disapproving looks I get from my Mother when she visits.

Good old Moldy Joe Corrigan!

Spelling obviously isn't their speciality. A few years ago they unveiled a Liverpool-style sign in the players tunnel that was meant to say "This Is Kingfield". Unfortunately, on closer inspection it apparently said "This Is Kingfiled".

On the Dales Way between Skipton and the Lake District, stuck in a farmers field in the back of nowhere is a Woking FC bus.

Wonder if it's still there after all these years?
