Talking of the Major's clothing...during his performance at the California Ballroom in Dunstable (late 70s) he strippped off his dinner shirt during his encore and tossed it to the crowd....it got ripped into many pices one of which I got him to sign backstage.
A few years back my mum called me to say that she had taken somestuff to a carboot sale which included a money box of mine but before she sold it she removed the contents....a Winston Churchill Crown, a few wigan badges, my wigan membership card and yes a bit of white cloth with some pen mark on it..... she saved me the crown and the badges but chucked the other bits away!!!!!
