After spending the afternoon sifting through my mum's loft I've finally found my Ronnie Moore certificate. It was in a photo album with loads of old tickets and autographs, including Viggo Jacobsen and Oostergard's.
More than happy if anyone has the facilities and wants to make copies. I can't for the life of me remember where i got it from but don't think it's that old. The quality of the actual photo is pretty good.
Probably early 70s ........ The Valley Club is there and the demolitions had started along the Woolwich Road. The Jimmy South Stand wasn't built until 1979.
It looks to me l like the pic was taken after the ground behind the JS terrace was passed on to the Council for the flats to be built. Don't remember there being a fence at the back before then?
You need to go to Specsavers, GH ! Floodlights can be seen.
I believe The Valley Club was opened around 1969, by the Olympic runner Lillian Board - who tragically died of cancer aged just 22.
I can remember inside The Valley Club on the wall was a framed cartoon type illustration of Lillian, commemorating the event. I wonder what happened to it?
The picture of The Valley was i belive taken by Mike Loveridge back in 1974 it also appears in Battle for The Valley by Rick Everitt,this picture you could have brought some years ago as a limited photo,so worth abit of money now.

You know what I'm going to say @DaveMehmet
The answer’s still no though, I won’t go out to dinner with you.
You can have these for the museum though.
