Essex Retro Football Show
Essex Retro Football Show Preview
Spurs legend Steve Perryman is the special guest at the next Essex Retro Football Show in Chelmsford.
Taking place at Essex County Cricket Club’s Ambassador Cruise Line Ground on Saturday June 28th, Tottenham’s record appearance maker will be part of a jam-packed event celebrating football nostalgia.
Perryman will be in attendance from around 11am-1pm, signing Futera trading cards for upcoming collections as well as meeting show attendees. The north London club’s long-serving captain will also have three books available on the day, including ‘Sir Bill’ – dedicated to the life of double-winning manager Bill Nicholson.
Joining the usual throng of dealers, selling everything from football shirts to programmes and stickers to Subbuteo, will be the 30th Anniversary Corinthian Convention.
The mini-figures, that first shot to fame in the mid-‘90s showcasing England’s Euro 96 hopefuls, will be showcased on a further 25 tables, requiring the addition of the Scrutton Bland Premier Suite to be in use alongside the Pavilion.
Show organiser Greg Lansdowne is excited about the growth of a Show that only began in 2023:
“After starting out in Loughton, the Essex Retro Football Show has gone from strength to strength since moving base to Chelmsford last year. Having a guest of Steve Perryman’s calibre is a huge boost to the event and I am sure he will be well-received by supporters of all clubs for everything he has achieved in the game.”
The Essex Retro Football Show runs from 10.30am-2pm, entry is free and a fully-licensed bar will be in operation in the Pavilion (the bar will remain open until 4pm).
Further details are available on greglansdowne.co.uk and updates will appear on the Essex Retro Football Show and 30th Anniversary Corinthian Convention Facebook pages as well as @panini_book on X.
I shall be there searching for those last few elusive programmes for the social history project being conducted by O-M Matihalti in Finland – one programme per season, per club from 1967 to 2016. Yes, 50 years of programmes all being collated for posterity.
