Those were the days when you would have some one who was a professional footballer during the winter months and a professional cricketer during the summer months.
I think the earliest North End programme that I have dates back to 1922

Come on, own up, who were the ruffians who were running on to the pitch during the match. Disgraceful behaviour. Should have been fined two and six and forced to do 100 star jumps as punishment.

I am a collector myself but have never seen a prewar one yet. Would love it anyone could post scans of any they have. Stay safe the North End family and best wishes to you all and your loved ones

Still got this programme. Was at the match, half a crown in the Kop schoolboy turnstile 😊Just saw this elsewhere and had to post it simply because of the memories it brought back.
I used to have about 100 of those programmes that I got from my brother.... he collected them from 1965 through until about 1969 ...Just saw this elsewhere and had to post it simply because of the memories it brought back.
he used to write the score and team changes inside everyone.
I ended up donating them to budgierustler when me and my first missus separated
I wonder how we lined up that day.... Patrick, McNab and Ritchie were all full backs...Just saw this elsewhere and had to post it simply because of the memories it brought back.
also, Ken Knighton is wearing number 8 but I’m sure that he was a centre back ?

I just remember being devastated when he left us to go to Rovers.
Got loads of old Programs I no longer want, but can't bring myself to Bin them and no one in Essex wants them. Some real Oldies. It cost about £20 to Send them up north. So they'll have to keep collecting dust, till we play Colchester or Southend again, then I will dump them in a North Enders Car 😀

I used to buy a program every game and had 6-7 seasons, mostly home, some away. They were in my parents attic when I left home and I always intended to get them when I had my own house. They had a clear out one day and chucked the lot without bothering to ask if I still wanted them! 😫

I was at that game and the first leg which we should have won comfortably. I was distraught that we lost and missed out on a trip to Wembley for the final. Wolves were in the final and I think there were about 80,000 there!

It’s always been a horrible place to go to, Ando.
Big Sam hit the bar with a shot he should have broke the net with, if that or any of the many more chances we had that night had gone in, the 2nd leg would have been a done deal.
We were then done in the second leg by not playing to our home advantage, but one George Ohghani, that song still haunts me now..... 😕
