It's a bit like Marmite I guess, you either like it or you don't. I did rather like it back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like any other market the value is at the point where buyer and seller agree. This can be altered by many other factors of course. But fear and greed generally are considered factors that often play a part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our team was Cumbes, Wright, Nicholl, Ross, Aitken, McMahon, Rioch, Vowden, Graydon, Lochhead & Anderson. City played Corrigan, Book, Donachie, Doyle, Booth, Bell, Summerbee, Lee, Davies, Marsh & Towers. Was there that day, but in the Holte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were unlucky on the day, but Manchester City had some fine players back then and I don't think they quite needed to go into top gear.

On e-bay they have a 57 photograph (unframed) and signed by 4 players for £59.99 (I would guess one that has been signed by them all, would be quite rare now) and an 82 photograph, signed by 12 for £199.99: 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a wooden frame. The 82 one is the same photo as above but is also in a wooden frame with two pictures of green, what are I imagine, match tickets. I tried downloading to VT but it was saying the picture was too big. I only have an old Samsung S7. I don't know if that's the reason why, they're in my gallery.

Dalian was one of those players who didn't realise just how good he really was. I remember how excited I was when we signed him. When he was on it, poetry in motion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
