Thank you to all the supporters who shared their club memorabilia at the first Tigers Treasure Day at Welford Road.

Club historian Stuart Farmer and members of the memorabilia committee, including former players Brian Hall and Mike Harrison, welcomed supporters to share any memorabilia from the club’s 130-year history.

“It’s been an enjoyable exercise,” said Farmer.

“We’ve had a steady flow of people coming in with photos, letters, souvenirs, newspaper cuttings and old membership cards. For us it is a process of cataloguing what is out there to combine with the records of items already in our possession.”

Among the items brought in on Tuesday was a player’s cap presented in 1902/03.

“Geoff Blackburn, who I’ve known for many years, brought in the cap which belonged to his father,” said Stuart. “It is hand-made, embroidered with the player’s name and in excellent condition. Geoff has very generously donated it to the club, which is great news.”
