Got programme mint condition and ticket stub. Carrefour car sticker and Carrefour bag with team names on them anyone remember them? Also got ashtray , obviously this is after match as says FA cup winners 76. Don't know if this counts as decent but still gives me a tingle down the spine looking at it!

I've got a blue and yellow rosette somewhere, it's not in great condition but it's still nice to have. Was given to me by a family member, along with a ball signed by the squad from the late 80's / early 90's (I've never worked it out properly).

My grandad left me the 76 cup final programme signed by the whole team including Lawrie Mcmenamy, family friends of Paul Gilchrist! Would not get rid of it for all the money in the world

 

Haha , Some things are worth more than money eh Saints1988? I reckon your Grandad knew exactly what he was doing when he left that to you.

 

Good on you Mush

I have an official programme signed personally by the whole team and substitutes which I still treasure! I also have the ticket stub the pink echo the scarf my mum knitted and 5 major newspapers from the day after! Plus a full video (1976 vintage video) of the match and post match celebrations

I have:

 

* The large mirror with the team names, score (and if memory serves as it is in the loft now) a picture of the FA cup in the middle. It's about 30" x 30"

* The decorative plate

* Black mug with the squads signatures

* Numerous thick plastic carrier bags (which aren't really strong enough to hold anything now!) with the FA cup and squad names on it

* Couple of rulers somewhere

* A Sammy Saint (in the yellow kit) clay wall model although not sure if this was specifically to do with the FA Cup final

* Think my dad has the Apron somewhere still too

* Some rosettes

* The retro 'man bag' too with a picture of the game which I used to keep my lego in as a kid

* Think we have a smaller mirror too

 

Probably a few other bits and bobs too.

 

Can probably safely say I have the most memorabilia from then because even though it was 6 years before I entered this life, my Dad seeing an opportunity to make a bit of money and being a fan too (as well as a friend of Nick Holmes) went out and purchased a s**t load of memorabilia and sold it all in the hype that surrounded us winning the cup to pay for him and my mum to go away on holiday. He kept quite a few bits for himself too thankfully!

 

He has told me the story many times of how after he sold it all, he changed the money he made up into £50 notes and hid them all around the house for my mum to find. She found a couple and was ecstatic as to how much he had made from it only to keep finding more and more £50 notes around the house!

I have my pictures. I took this as were were walking towards Foyes Corner in Shirley Road. Got about 100 yards from the cross roads as they came around the corner. There were a row of buses parked at the side of the road so I ran up to the top deck of a No. 17 and took this picture through the front window.:)

What a great photo, I cant find any of mine, lost in numerous house moves or left in an attic somewhere. However, I do have a cracked small FA cup Mirror (also broken in a house move), my banner "We did go and win the bloody thing", a scarf, two FA Cup black mugs with signatures and memories.

Got a yellow and blue top hat made out of hardboard I think? My brother made it while he worked at Fords, I was only 13 on the day so I didn't feel such a twonk wearing it, on the day, there were hundreds on them there, suppose that must of been when Fords Swaythling started to decline LOL

I've got the Hampshire Telegraph (whatever happened to that?) which has good coverage of the parade. Also got tickets from Villa (h), Bradford, Palace & the Final. However, my most prized posession is the programme which is signed by all 12 players of both teams, the two managers, the referee, linesmen and reserve official. I'd got it signed by everyone except Paul Gilchrist and Mel Blyth when I saw them in the Mike Channon Suits at the Leicester game on the 30th anniversary. I was like a 10 year old when they'd signed it, and it was nice that other people (some even older than me) shared in my excitement.

A mate introduced me to his old man who was a jeweler from Southampton - Who claims that he was up all night after we won the cup, knocking out dents to the FA cup lid after a couple of players worse for wear had dropped a few times. I have no reason to doubt him.
