Everly Bros, Rolling Stones, Bo Diddley; Early UK handbill promoting a show at the New Victoria London on 29th September 1963. 255x179mm The Rolling Stones had joined a package tour for the first time with 3rd billing behind the Everly Brothers and Bo Diddley. This handbill is for the very first night of the tour. Bill Wyman recalls 29th September 1963. We rehearsed and did a soundcheck in preparation for the first night. We met everyone and we couldn't get over having the opportunity to work with such great artists we stayed there all day. They even brought in food, we knew we were on the up. There were two shows at 6:00pm and 8:30pm. The stage manager was Peter Grant, who later managed Led Zeppelin.

An England International Spain 1982 World Cup away shirt bears No. 8 to the back for Trevor Francis, used for either the game against France or West Germany in which Trevor Francis played in both games. *SOLD WITH A LETTER OF CONFIRMATION STATING THE ABOVE LOT HAS COME FROM THE ESTATE OF THE LATE TREVOR FRANCIS* The estate has stated "I would say that Trevor wasn’t into collecting shirts / memorabilia as such himself. He preferred to keep only items which meant something significant to him personally. Specifically, he did speak about the shirt swap with Maradona and I remember on one occasion he thought he had mislaid it and was very concerned at the time, but he did locate it. Trevor bought and sold many homes and his shirts etc were never displayed and basically stored in suitcases or plastic crates. The Maradona shirt was a game swapped shirt, and from memory, I think there is a mud stain on the shirt. With regard to Zidane and Rivaldo, and on the basis of them meaning something to Trevor, I believe they were game worn shirts. I can’t give you any complete guarantee on the shirts but I do think he would not have retained them all those years ( and stored and transported them through many house moves !) if they didn’t mean a lot to him personally and were of significance."
