England v Ireland 1949 – at Manchester City
Here we have a genuine football programme for England v Ireland, dated 16 November 1949. Items like this from 1949 turn up far less often than you might think, which makes it a welcome find for collectors of either side.
This is an England football programme. England's goals came from Rowley (4), Froggatt, Pearson (2) and Mortensen (2) in front of a crowd of 70,000 at Maine Road.
It would make a fine addition to any collection of football memorabilia.
