My Open Book

To effectively begin a football programme collection, an individual needs to choose a theme to his or her collection. There are thousands of programmes available in the United Kingdom, and even more around the world. To give a collection a of meaning a theme should be adopted to avoid pointless accumulation and to keep to a preferred budget.

Sometimes you come across a programme that joins or crosses two themes at once. These may prove to be valuable purchases in years to come as they represent a special or historical event, which will revive memories for football fans from across the world in the future.

The programme is a great way to remember a memorable event at a particular match. This could come in the form of an achievement such as a player milestone, which can be featured in the programme. A player milestone could come in many forms, such as an appearance record, a goal getting record, the end of a players career, a number of years of service by a player, and much more.

The darker side of soccer is also often recorded in the programme. These historical events attract collectors who see them as poignant reminders of the past. They are highly collectible and valuable as a result. The tragedies at Hillsborough, Ibrox and Bradford have collectible programmes connected with them, not only for the day itself, but also the subsequent commemorative games.

A notably valuable set of football programmes to own are those associated with the Munich Air Disaster involving the Manchester United team and Busby’s Babes. The programme from the match against Partizan Belgrade who Manchester United were playing on the tragic trip can sell for over a thousand pounds. A similar amount can be obtained for the programme against Sheffield Wednesday directly after the disaster, where the players list wasn’t filled in for the Man United team.

Notable occurrences are usually reflected in the content and design of the programme. Important football programmes to collect are final games in an old stadium, or the first issue within a new one. Most programmes of this type are abundant with interesting articles and historical information, making them a gem in any soccer programme collection.

Football programmes often mean different things to different collectors. You may value one programme highly for entirely personal reasons and memories which they may conjure up. For others the pursuit is one of passion, understanding more about the history and traditions of a football team that they follow. Whatever your reason, collecting football programmes is a highly rewarding hobby, and comes highly recommended to any football fan.
