Signed Albion football

[Grassman]

Have laid my hands on a wonderful little treat this weekend.

A signed Albion football from the 2000-2001 championship winning season. It took a little time to work out the exact year as the only autographs I could clearly make out were Danny Cullip, Charlie, Paul Brooker and Will Packham - yeah the last one is a real treat!!

The internet - in particular google images - aided in deciphering Micky Adams signature. Obviously the 2000-2001 squad included Bobby Z, though I am struggling to work out which is his.

Other members of the squad who appear on the ball, some you can work out, most not though, include Andy Crosby, Simon Morgan, Paul Watson, Paul Rogers and Harty.

Lovely find, eh! But my question is, what value does it have? Not that I'm gonna sell it, I may well loan it to the club for the museum if it's deemed worthwhile enough. Thoughts?

NB* Have finally found Bobby's autograph on the ball - I'm much happier now.

I have a cup final ball signed by the team but unfortunate but the ink is fading now, I guess they only had ball points back then

Not to put a downer on it but I doubt it will have much value and the club museum definately won't want it. I have one of these (and 2 from other seasons) - they churn out dozens (if not hundreds) of these every year so they aren't that rare. Sorry!

I've got one as well. Won it on Talksport after the female call answerer decided I had a nice voice.

No worries. Have to say that I thought as much. Still, it's nice to have it!
