Description

A collection of professional association football memorabilia dating from the early 1990s to 2000, featuring material from Arsenal FC, Leeds United AFC, and Liverpool FC.

The Arsenal FC portion includes official matchday programmes from the 1999-2000 season and five original ticket stubs for home fixtures at Highbury Stadium. The ticket stubs represent the following matches: UEFA Cup 4th Round 1st Leg against Deportivo La Coruña (2 March 2000), UEFA Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk (28 September 2000), and F.A. Carling Premiership matches against Sheffield Wednesday (8 April 2000), Sunderland (15 January 2000), and Middlesbrough (20 November 1999). The tickets indicate seating in the North Bank Lower Tier and Clock End.

The Leeds United AFC items comprise matchday programmes for fixtures against Manchester United (27 April 1994), Wimbledon (14 March 1992), and Aston Villa (3 March 1992). The Wimbledon programme features a handwritten inscription in black ink reading My Love Brandon 14/3/92 and includes two signatures on the front cover. One signature is attributed to Lee Chapman; these signatures have not been independently authenticated and no certificate of authenticity is provided.

The Liverpool FC material includes a Shankly 40th Anniversary Celebration commemorative programme, alongside F.A. Carling Premiership programmes for matches against Derby County (6 November 1999) and Watford (14 August 1999).
