Starting a football programme collection
To effectively launch a collection of football programmes, a person needs to choose a theme to their collection. There are thousands of football programmes available in Britain, and even more worldwide. To give a collection a of meaning a theme ought to be adopted to avoid needless accumulation and to keep to a designated budget.
Sometimes you come across a football programme that covers or crosses two themes at once. These are likely to prove to be valuable acquisitions in future years as they signify an important or historical event, which will revive memories for football fans from around the globe in the future.
The programme is a good way to remember a memorable event at a particular game. This could be in the form of an achievement such as a player milestone, which is featured in the programme itself. Player milestones come in many formats, such as an appearance record, a goal scoring record, the final match of a players career, a number of years of service by the manager, and much more.
The darker side of football is also often recorded in the programme. These historical events attract collectors who see them as poignant reminders of the past. They are sought after and valuable as a result. The disasters at Bradford, Ibrox and Hillsborough have valuable programmes associated with them, not only for the match itself, but also the subsequent commemorative games.
A notably collectible set of football programmes to own are those associated with the Munich Air Disaster involving the Man Utd team and Busby’s Babes. The programme from the game against Partizan Belgrade who Manchester United were playing on the tragic trip can sell for over a thousand pounds. A similar sum can be achieved for the programme against Sheffield Wednesday directly after the disaster, where the team list wasn’t filled in for the Manchester United team.
Notable occurrences are usually reflected in the content and style of the programme. Important football programmes to get hold of are final games in an old stadium, or the first issue within a new one. Most programmes of this type are easily available with interesting features and historical information, making them a gem in any football programme collection.
Programmes can mean different things to different collectors. You may value a prticular programme highly due to entirely personal reasons and memories which they may conjure up. For others the pursuit is one of passion, understanding more about the history and traditions of a football team that they follow. Whatever your reason, collecting football programmes is a highly rewarding hobby, and comes highly recommended to any soccer fan.
