My Dad (now in his 70s) was clearing out some cupboards and asked me if I wanted some old Town programmes he’d found in a shoebox.

Thinking there might be some money to be made (and wanting to check that Tony Rees’ favourite band really was Simply Red - it was!) I agreed.

I was looking through the box last night and found two Lincoln City programmes from the 1970s hidden inside the front and back cover of a special lesbian edition of Razzle.

My Dad wasn’t born in the area so it’s a forgivable mistake but should I broach it with him or pretend I haven’t seen the Imps programmes?

Eh?  Sure it's not Gainsborough Trinity or another Lincolnshire powerhouse like Sleaford Town?

Lincoln City were only formed in May 2016.

Dear Anders Foster Voles

Broaching the subject could be awkward and maybe cause a rift between you and your dad. I suggest you keep quiet for now and keep your eyes peeled.  Does he often sit in a cross-legged position?  Does he save his money in Sincil Bank?  If so, there's no need to say anything; just run him out of town.

Wrap the wimps programs in the magazine,  that way you might get something for them.

He was probably looking after them for a friend.

If the friend owned the Lincoln programmes too, I’d be worried

Perhaps the pages were stuck together.
