East Anglian Clubs Feature at Big Football Auction - Ipswich Town News

One of the biggest football auctions ever held in Suffolk will take place at Lockdales in Martlesham Heath later this month with East Anglian clubs - including Town, Norwich City and Cambridge United - figuring prominently.

More than 400 football-related lots will be sold off at the auction over the weekend of January 23rd and 24th

Auction manager James Sadler said: "This is the largest football auction for many, many years. There is an abundance of football items from clubs all over the country, and also abroad.”

Amongst the Ipswich Town-related programmes is the 1945 Royal Navy versus British Army match at Portman Road.

From Norfolk comes the programme for the 1935 County Senior Cup final between the Norwich City A team and Sheringham.

From further afield there is the programme from a 1929 Wales versus Ontario international that was staged in Toronto.

On January 6th, 7th and 9th, Lockdales' experts in a wide variety of fields will be at valuation days held at their Martlesham Heath base.
