Just above what I was willing to go to (not to say it isn't worth a lot more!)

Anyone want a signed Mark Field shirt? Go on, you know you want to....

That is an unbelievable item.



How does it end up in Bognor Regis???

Would love to own - but not folk will be flush with spare cash right now, including me!

Very nice bit of kit, may talk myself into it.

At least £62!!! nice shirt but... not to say it isnt worth more.

nice that, especially with programme and ticket!

The programme is worth sod all, not rare at all, unlike the shirt! 1st Wakefield Cup Final shirt I've seen up for sale.

The seller must be some kind of collector as he has another couple of match worn shirts for sale as well.

As a side issue (and by no means is this meant as a criticism of Kevin Rayne) how does such an item end up on ebay? I don't know the circumstances of the 'disposal' from twinnie, but I thought that Wembley was THE big day in the playing career of a player (win or lose) and this item would be the ultimate representation of this, other than the medal (the shirt is more personal). Lots of players past and present in many teams would give their soul to play in such a match and all the trappings that go with it. If it was mine and I'd played at Wembley then it would be the last thing to go, I'd get rid of mi other half and the kids first

(probably get more money for the shirt as well).
When our players get there (and win) I hope that they will keep their shirts in a special place and be able to allow 'special viewings' for their grandkids.
Perhaps we see it different as supporters, but at least it gives us 'commoners' the chance to own (if you can afford it).

Its gone up

madness....

I think you are being a bit harsh. Maybe it was donated to a charity auction or something. I think also that shirts perhaps have more kudos now than back then, and maybe it was all about the medal, not the shirt. One of the players from the 1962 final swapped his shirt with Richard Harris for a sheepskin coat, and so maybe that puts it into the perspective of the day.

My only regret is that it not one of the more memorable players, like Lampy or Bill Ashurst, but I will be keeping an eye on it tomorrow.

i so like the end to that story that harris gave the shirt back because as i understand it he appreciated it was priceless!

The story I heard was that he knew the player had three children, and so he returned it when we got there again in 1963

thats it your right!

the full story was in the book "up and under"

he turned up with it wrapped up in brown paper to give it back as a pressie!
i just looked!


so richard harris is therefore cool and a top bloke!

He was a decent bloke if you met him at the right time.

I hope whoever buys this donates it to the Trinity Museum assuming one is set up at the new ground. If I put in the highest bid then that is where it will go to.

I'm sorry, but if it's my winning bid, it's going in a frame and on my wall.

When you compare it with the price of a new shirt for this season, hot off the press from China or wherever, and with no history whatsoever, then you have to say that at it's current price, it's still a bargain (and no, I don't live in or know anyone from Bognor Regis

).

A signed Mark Field shirt? I can think of someone who may want one, but I'm sure his love child has already signed a few for his collection. I'd take one, but it wouldn't fit me...

Compared to the Lewis one, especially with doubts over whether it was or not, this is a real bargain, you're correct!

Mate, I've never understood your use of emotica, and this post leaves me as baffled as the rest.

Happy New Year, btw

The Germans, bless 'em, have an expression called "lover's price" (no swear-filter editing involved) to classify items like this. In other words, it's worth as much as it's worth to you. To me, it's worth more than the price paid for the Lewis shirt you mentioned, but I'm not a collector, so won't be paying it.

looks like bidder 7 is hell bent on this £180 and a new bid on

great shirt worn by one of my all time fav players

I never read that back - the stupid one is NOT the one I slected!!! Another glitch me thinks!

Did Kevin Rayne make it onto the pitch? Number 15 will have been a sub, and they didn't do interchanges like now.

£295 with 4 hours to go.
