Back in the late 80's my uncle won a signed football in a raffle. I think the raffle was probably around the time of the England match, possibly before then during the post fire period.
I need to find out which match it was from as I want to either auction the ball off or possibly donate it to the BCAFC Museum.
My brother seems to think it is the ball from the Lincoln match in 1985. Though alternatively it could be from the first home game of the 85-86 season.
Either way it was raffled off to raise money for the post fire funds.
Does anyone remember this raffle?
Or does anyone have a full team listing from the Lincoln match or from the first couple of matches of the following season or even from the England match?
I would really really really apreciate this help as I've been searching high and low for a couple of years now. If it is the ball from THE match then it is something very very very special. If it is from another game then at least I'll know.

Thanks everyone in advance,

Matt

I should think it'll be relatavely easy to find out the team line ups mate - in fact i'll def have the England one myself because i know i have a programme from that game and i used to tick the names on the back of my programme!!
I should imagine tho its pretty much impossible to determine which game its from....loads of stuff were auctioned off at that time!!!...

Thanks guys. Defo was not the England game then looking at the players who played.
Can't remember off the top of my head which sigs are on the ball but pretty sure Leigh Palin was not on there along with a few others.
