Banter through the ages

[TyphooToffee]

My father-in-law died in May and I've been selling his various collections (stamps, cigarette cards, books, annuals etc) on eBay. I'm in the process of selling football programmes and I came across this 'Funeral card' in a 1949 FA publication THE CUP. It was after Wolves beat Everton 1-0 at Fallowfield (the home of Manchester Athletic) in 1893. Quite polite when you think of banter these days!

Thanks for that. I've had three father's-in-law and Reg was miles ahead of the first two. Reg was a great joke-teller, as I am too, and the first time we met it was a joke fest! The shame was I only knew him ten years. Still, this is about banter, not reminiscing about lost family. It probably shouldn't be on the Everton forum either!

I used to have something very similar, distributed when we'd beaten the RS in the mid-60s. Funny thing was, I seem to recall that they were being given out BEFORE the game.
