A highly prized  and truly rare collection of 1957 football player autographs all contained within a  Charles Buchan Football monthly annual. 


Bought originally at auction certified so always understood to be the genuine article especially when viewed in situ within the album.


The book had been used at the time as both a scrapbook and place to obtain the signatures of some of the football leagues top players…..a unique collection in all sense and in a way an historical document.


There are around 25 autographs in total including the 2 prized signatures by Duncan Edward…..and many of the pre Munich air disaster  Busby Babes.


 Please contact me if you require additional details.


The signatures include but are not limited to:


Duncan Edward x2 ( very rare)

Jackie Blanchflower x3

Busby Babes…Man United team photo pre Munich inc Jeff Whitefoot, Eddie Coleman, Bill Foulkes, Liam Whelan, David Pegg and of course Edward and Blanchflower. ( very rare)

John Berry

Bill Leivers

John Savage

The condition is as shown. The book has stuck in pictures as well as signed over pages. Outer is tatty although this could easy be repaired if the book is to be kept.


Pictures could easily be removed for separate framing. I am more than happy to provide extra photographers and information if required.


Non smoking house and stored in dark and dry conditions.


Postage cost reflects size and weight of item to include secure insured signed for delivery.


Please note that I only use EBay global Shipping on international glass and ceramics purchases due to the extra protection this gives the buyer. If you are unsure please do not bid before contacting me. 


I have collected many items over the years and it is now time to let some go as well as finally have room in an overflowing loft. Most autographs have either been passed on by relatives or friends or bought previously at auction.


I have tried to give an give a fair appraisal of the items but please remember that I am going by my own standards. In other words if I say good condition then in my opinion the condition is such that I would be happy to buy it myself at the price given. Everybody has different points of view and I am no expert on condition types so please contact me if you have any questions.... I would rather you were happy before buying.


I will try and describe the item but I would like to state that the photographs are an important part of my selling...so please study them carefully. If you are are uncertain of anything please contact me and ask.


I have looked up the costs of all the items and tried to keep the starting price fair in order to allow market forces to dictate. If you get a bargain then good as we will both win.
