One
of the highlights of Bonhams’ Sporting Memorabilia Sale on 13
March at Chester will be Mark Golledge’s rare collection devoted
solely to ephemera associated with Liverpool Football Club.

Collected over a period of over 30 years, the ephemera centres
on an almost complete run of Liverpool programmes dating back
to the mid 1950s – the years of European success for the Club.

Also offered will be a selection of earlier programmes to include
two bound volumes of Liverpool and Everton programmes of the
1930-31 and 1931-32 seasons. At the time, the clubs shared programmes
and these were the years that Everton won promotion from the
old Second Division and subsequently the League Championship.
These are estimated at £4,500-6,000 each.

Other lots include a wide range of tickets, cigarette and trade
cards, team and players’ photographs and autographs, mostly
from the 1960s to mid ’80s, the years that saw Bill Shankly
and Bob Paisley as managers.

Special menus, rosettes, club letters and other ephemera make
up over 230 lots of special Liverpool interest.

Mark Golledge assisted Brian Pead, a Liverpool FC historian,
with his books on the club – most notably with illustrations
of the collection in ‘The Complete Record’.
