Where are the 12 Back to the Valley Shirts? Can you help?

So after the first game back the Club raffled off the players shirts.

They were framed by Garry Nelson too.

The museum has Colin Walsh's on loan from Addickted.

When @stuart cams into the museum he told us he's got Darren Pitchers.

Last night at @baronpaulo's party I was chatting to a long standing fan whose son has Stuart Balmer's shirt.

so that makes three.

so where are the other nine?

Does anyone have a list of the original winners?

That would be a start but in 25 years many might have changed hands.

Can you help locate them?

Do you know anyone who has one or do you have one yourself?

    Interesting because I'm not sure where that is now. Will have to have another look around the club for it.

    Pretty sure they were raffled soon after the game so may be worth a scan of the progs from the Leeds cup replay onwards for the 92/93 season for the names of the winners

    Sorry for getting your name wrong :-)

    I think Bolders went first and then Walsh's.

    Just out of interest what are you going to do with the information Henry? Is it just a way of keeping track of where they are in the world, or are the museum trying to pull them all together into one exhibition?

    Just intrigued to know where they are. We don't really have the display room now for just those shirts


    We are at the start of the process of creating a catalogue website where we can photograph and list everything whoever owns it or where it is so would be good to have them on that site for everyone to see.

    OK, quick quiz question: which Italian footballer, once linked with a loan move to Charlton owns one of Allan Border's cricket shirts?

    I'm guessing it'll be Christian Vieri!

    After 5/11/92
    found something in the Notts County programme 30/1/93

    8 year old Joe Bullen was first selected and he picked his hero Bob Bolders short and was presented it by Bob before the game.

    2nd ticket holder was Nick Hannan who selected Colin Walsh's shirt

    3rd prize winner was Lee Morris who selected Joint Player Manager Steve Gritt's shirt

    the prize draw raised £18,000 and a full list of winners will be in the next Charlton Magazine, which should be on its way to members by next week

    so any members still have that

    An absolute long shot as there must be a fair number of Charlton supporting Lee Morris's. This was back in 2003 but he still posts on the site.

    Ok I will get on with my work.

    The museum isn't trying take them away and we can't afford to buy them. Walsh's is on display in the museum already as part of the back to the Valley feature.

    But it would be good to know where they are all know and that they are safe. Would really appreciate any help and in particular a photograph of any of the framed shirts.

    Is your dad not one of the people named above then?

    When you say you have one is it in a framed and was the framing done by Garry Nelson?

    No, he's not one of the ones listed. Just have no idea where this shirt came from. It's not in a frame, no. I'm guessing it's just a replica.
