Rare Matchday Programme nets £220

A rare football Matchday programme went on sale at auction in Glasgow.

The programme originally cost ONE SHILLING but sold at McTear's Auctioneers in Glasgow for £220.

The rare programme - from the Scotland v England match at Wembley in 1967  - was dubbed the "World Champions" Programme - after Scotland's famous 3-2 win.

This led to Scotland being crowned "Unofficial World Champions" as it happened soon after England's 1966 World Cup Final win against West Germany at Wembley.

This was the match in which Jim Baxter did the "keepie uppie" display.

It's always good to read about Football memorabilia ibeing sold for huge amounts of money but this sale was £220 which was a huge amount in its own right considering what is was originally priced at on matchday.
