[Football] Where is the 3rd Division South championship trophy?

[Nottseagull]

Technically we are still the holders, winning it at the final attempt in 1958 after playing in every season of that competition. I'm pretty sure that if we had been allowed to retain it then I would have heard about it by now. Maybe the two trophies were just reallocated to the newly formed Third and Fourth Divisions, perhaps with winners' plaques removed?

It’s safely stashed with the Cup Final money.

 

[Questions]

If we find the money is it even legal tender anymore?

The Bank of England will honour old currency.

Who knows I’m fairly certain the Championship winners trophy is the same one the old Division 1 winners lifted though If that helps?

Belloti sold it for scrap.

It's in the National Football Museum in Manchester.

Should it be returned?

I bet DIck TIGHT has it along with the money he got for sacking Dean (Dreamboat) Wilkins

Belloti sold it for scrap.

Only because Archer had run out of tea and biscuits.

I think it might have been left under a huge flag in a hut next to the Withdean stadium and some builders threw it away

I went on the stadium tour a couple of years ago. There is a (very modest) trophy cabinet which, iirc, has no recognition of the 1910 charity shield, nor the 1958 title.
