In 1975......

Carlisle at home, we had won the league, in the Normanton lower, I was 15. 0-0, all on the pitch. It was going to be relaid so I took a piece from the centre circle.  Went to school on the Monday and persuaded my teacher help me preserve it.  50 years later and despite me living all over the world I've still got it.  Magical times.

I did the same but replanted mine in the garden at home, didn’t last the week 😂

Is that every blade of grass from the whole pitch? 😉

I had a lovely fullsome pot of grass from the BBG post Palace in 96.

Then a couple of years later workmen came to replace the fence panels and inadvertently chucked it. 

Heartbroken.
