Leicester City football memorabilia up for auction
A collection of football memorabilia, including a medal from Leicester City's 1936-37 promotion-winning season, will be sold at auction.
The catalogue of items belonged to David "Dai" Owen Jones, who played for the Foxes and the Welsh national team in the 1930s and 1940s.
Born in Cardiff in 1910, Jones moved to the club in May 1933 for a fee of 拢250.
The sale will take place at Gildings Auctioneers in Market Harborough on Tuesday.
Jones made almost 300 appearances for the club, playing for the Foxes until their first post-war season, in which he scored Leicester's opening goal of the campaign in their third game against West Ham United.
His collection includes a nine-carat gold Division Two champions' medal from when City were promoted to Division One, the highest league at the time.
Will Gilding from Gildings Auctioners in Market Harborough explains to Letitia George why the items up for auction are particularly special.
