Quoted from Poojah
Great find this. Would have loved this, my grandparents were at the game and my grandad often used to tell me about that day. They were only a young couple at the time, and he got conscripted to fight in WWII only a few months later, which always makes me sad thinking about it.

Had a fanciful (and grossly optimistic) stab at a grand, but unsurprisingly that didn’t meet the reserve. Not even going to think about going higher than that as my wife would literally cut my nob off if she found out.


Do what I did recently and return to the bidding after necking a load of alcohol and then hide your purchase at work where it will be safe until you think it’s safe to tell the mrs .

Just think about the history (am presuming it is authentic) that this has with the club. Am sure there are a few town supporters that have a spare couple of grand, but, what an amazing bit of PR work this could be for the club. Am not saying they should just go out and blow upwards of £2/3k on it (that’s their choice), but putting into context the amount we’ve spunked on , not even, benchwarmers, over the past couple of years. It’s spare change

This is exactly the strategy I’ve employed in the past, and the very reason she’ll cut my nob off if she found out.

I think the scotch egg brigade will go into meltdown if the club were to spend several thousand on a decades old shirt.

Here's hoping  😂

Some confusion on this thread . 1939 is what the eBay ad says which is the Old Trafford semi final. 1935 was the other one.
I would be interested in this but as stated provenance is key.
I have watched the video of the 1939 highlights on you tube and it appears to me the players are wearing short sleeves though the pictures are not entirely clear .The shirt photo as advertised on eBay appears to be long sleeved.Does anybody agree or disagree?

Sorry to be pedantic but the other semi final was in 1936.

Arsenal v Grimsby Town 1-0 FA Cup Semi-final 21 Mar 1936.
