The FA would've been a more appropriate purchaser no?

Was it the family that sold it or had it been previously sold?

I should have kept my white boots.

 

[Joey66]

He has a museum sad if they are selling it?
The club's 70 million debt does not help
The greatest midfielder to pull on a blue EFC shirt
A pleasure to watch him & the holy trinity.....

He played for Blackpool at the time?

He would have been easily MOTM if Geoff Hurst had not bagged a hat trick ......if we had him now a player of his calibre we would lose him to a rich club .......not sell him for a pittance......like we did ......

Is David France still involved with buying historical items ?

Is he still not that well ? The price may put him off - plus our club should be chipping in after all the trophy cabinet is bare

….I have it in mind that Ball sold his medal when he was still alive. I might have that wrong, but I recall being a little surprised.

in respect of his shirt, I thought he swapped with his great friend Nobby Stiles, but I might have that wrong also.
