The owner of this shield has kindly donated it to Blackpool Supporters Trust for a potential sale / auction to raise funds for the Trust to support some BFC / community related schemes.
The donor wishes to remain anonymous and would like the shield to be put on public display as it captures a unique piece of BFC history.
This might well be oldest piece of BFC memorabilia in circulation. It was awarded to Tom Hargreaves (who scored the first competitive goal for BFC) for winning the Fylde Football Cup of 1887.
Thanks to both John Cross and Gerry Wolstenholme for their assistance so far …
Can’t get the images to upload on here …. there’s a post on FB post for visuals of the front and the rear of the shield on the Blackpool FC fans group (can’t link that either for some reason ) - if some one could add a link or post the 2 images t’would be appreciated
