thames Posted 24 January, 2016 Posted 24 January, 2016 Not sure what I have ...it is engraved 'Crystal Palace Football Club, Saturday 7th May 2005, Presented to Southampton F.C,'.... and is about 9cm high. [/img]
Katalinic Posted 24 January, 2016 Posted 24 January, 2016 Guess it was presented to us before the 2-2 game to commemorate CP's centenary. How did you get you come across it?
thames Posted 24 January, 2016 Author Posted 24 January, 2016 Doing a bit of beach combing on the Thames and found it washed up on the shore.
cellone Posted 24 January, 2016 Posted 24 January, 2016 A mud lark. Sounds like someone wasn't impressed with it and lobbed it in. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk
Colinjb Posted 24 January, 2016 Posted 24 January, 2016 Could they have been given to the players? Surely something like that being presented to the club would be placed in the trophy cabinet? Incidentally, buy/sell section. What do you want for it?
Saint_clark Posted 25 January, 2016 Posted 25 January, 2016 Doing a bit of beach combing on the Thames and found it washed up on the shore. Christ! I'd be interested if you're selling and didn't post it accidentally.
cellone Posted 25 January, 2016 Posted 25 January, 2016 Christ! I'd be interested if you're selling and didn't post it accidentally. Back off. I want more backstory before this goes any further. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk
cellone Posted 25 January, 2016 Posted 25 January, 2016 I'm going for grumpy player/thief lumped this in to the Thames. ? Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk
Saint_clark Posted 25 January, 2016 Posted 25 January, 2016 So we need to look at players who played in that game who then moved to a London club? Or are we assuming it's been bobbing around in the thames for 11 years?
thames Posted 25 January, 2016 Author Posted 25 January, 2016 I am interested in selling but as for price, I have no idea.... my first thoughts were that a player had had a bad game and lobbed it in the Thames.
Katalinic Posted 25 January, 2016 Posted 25 January, 2016 It does say "presented to Southampton FC" although I guess each player could have had one. Bloody strange how it got there.
thames Posted 27 January, 2016 Author Posted 27 January, 2016 I have decided to put the sale on hold.. I have contacted Southampton FC, I asked if it was lost or stolen.. Message from them- Dear Vincent,Thank you for your E Mail. It’s fantastic to hear you have what sounds like an official Southampton Football Club Trophy! Could we ask that you send us a picture of the trophy, so we can communicate with our club historians and club secretary, and advise what would be the best course of action. Your help is much appreciated. Kind Regards Daniel Whittington Supporter Relations Advisor Southampton FC I have sent the photos of the trophy and will keep you all informed.
cellone Posted 27 January, 2016 Posted 27 January, 2016 The right thing to do. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk
Whitey Grandad Posted 27 January, 2016 Posted 27 January, 2016 Well done. Please keep us updated with events.
thames Posted 27 January, 2016 Author Posted 27 January, 2016 A response already.... Hello Vincent, Thank you for providing us with the attached photographs. The trophy in question was more than likely one given to all Premier League clubs by crystal palace during their centenary year. Therefore as the trophy is not significant to our past results, you are more than welcome to keep it. We thank you for taking the time to contact us. Kind Regards Daniel Daniel Whittington Supporter Relations Advisor Southampton FC
Whitey Grandad Posted 27 January, 2016 Posted 27 January, 2016 It looks like a paperweight. Any idea how many were made? I suppose you could always contact Crystal Palace.
cellone Posted 28 January, 2016 Posted 28 January, 2016 2005 are we still wondering why it got lumped into the Thames. Rupert on the rampage. ? Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk
OldNick Posted 1 February, 2017 Posted 1 February, 2017 It would be amazing if it had not been noticed that something had gone missing from our trophy cabinet!! lol
