A vast quantity of material. The vendor, who collected all of these items himself as a boy, commented accordingly - Mainly from the years 1960/68 and gathered at New Road, Worcester or the Raven Hotel at Droitwich Spa where a lot of overseas touring sides stayed. The big names would be in the Australian, West Indian & Pakistani touring sides together with the England side. Fred Trueman was always very reluctant to sign anything and I believe he should there along with Titmus, Edrich, Graveney, Close along with others. Gary Sobers, Griffiths and most of the rest of the touring WI party I think are there. The Pakistani side I believe was the Eaglets, a side comprising of up and coming players I know Mushtaq Mohammed’s signature was there. Some may have got lost over time having been left with my mother so not sure what is actually there.
