linfieldarchives:

It’s not often that I’ll post on here, but today a volunteer (who also happens to be my mom) found a item that was just too cool not to share. The image above is a Linfield tie with a painted on mascot. Enclosed is a card that reads:

Charles -

This is a kind of quid-pro-quo. Many thanks for the handsome Linfield tie. Now this one really belongs in the archives - or on your dresser - perhaps the only survivor of a football booster project at least 25years ago, maybe 35. Too faded to look good, but there it is!

[1986?]

Well it made it into the Archives Will, and we’re taking good care of it!
