A collection of Saints 1976 FA Cup memorabilia has been sold on Ebay with the money benefitting the Lisa Wilson Scholarship Fund.
A shirt signed by several of the team including captain Peter Rodrigues and manager Lawrie McMenemy, a programme from the match, and other items were sold along with a print of the winning goal called “All Saints Day”.
The print was signed by the late great Peter Osgood, Lawrie McMenemy, David Peach, Hughie Fisher and man of the match Jim Steele.
Well after 13 years of fun in the sun we have sold our beautiful Cranchi sports cruiser, Lisathedaddy. Ordered at the Boat Show in 2002 and launched on Lisa’s birthday March 15th 2003, we shipped her to Florida in 2008. So many happy memories and we think over 100 people have enjoyed days out on her; dolphin running, manatee watching, fishing, and drinking. She now moves to a new home on Longboat key where the new owners live.
The new owners kindly donated $1000 to Lisa’s charity when they heard her story.
Happy days everyone, no tears just great memories. Enjoy the photos.
On November 21st Lisa’s Class of ’95 at Hounsdown School, Totton had a school re-union and fundraiser to raise money for the charity. It was also an opportunity to recognise their school mates who had not lived to see the event – seven students have died since they left Hounsdown in 1995. The event was attended by over one hundred people at Totton and Eling Social Club, including the parents of some of the deceased youths. The Band Driftwood were the main turn and provided great music on the night, supported by Joey Brenig-Jones and Mike Vaughn. The event was presented by Lynne White–whose idea it was to hold the event–and Clive Wilson, who also spoke about the charity. The entry fees and raffle and DVD sales helped bring the money raised on the night to £1220; a great effort and many thanks to all concerned.
