Really hope some way can be found of keeping all this stuff together and at the Valley.

How would people who've bid on our own CL and BA auctions feel about some of the money raised going towards securing some of the Super Clive items?

    The club should buy them off him

    Agree but can't guarentee that will happen.

    Definitely worth a question to Mr. Slater on Charlton Live.

    This is very sad.
    The medals are very special to me, and I am sure to many if not all of us on here.
    I would be prepared to support any way of securing these medals.
    Surely the club needs to get these for the benefits of fans of Charlton?
    I have a signed football of all the 1st team that played at Wembley, with curbs on it, ( I collected this from Sparrows Lane myself, one of two balls raffled/bid at the Valley when I ran Bexley juniors FC ) be happy to donate this if it helps secure these medals? to be held in trust for the fans at CAFC.
    I really hope something can be sorted, for the benefit of all?

    I'd be all for supporting it as well, as would most on here I hope.

    Surely only Charlton supporter would contemplate buying his shirt,hattrick matchball and medal. He didn't have that many enemies.
  • I-SAW-POUSO-PLAYI-SAW-POUSO-PLAY
    Grimsby fans also would bid i think.

    Feel gutted for him.

    The club must buy these from him, surely ? Anyone know why he is selling, or is that obvious.

    Article says to raise money so his wife can start a business.

    I'd certainly contribute towards a fund to keep one (if not more) of these precious relics of our history at the club. I wish I could afford to buy them all myself and donate them to the club but I'm hoping he'll raise far more than my two pennies could rub together.

    1947 FA Cup medals have been bought previously by a Charlton supporter and were donated back to the Club.

    I am sure the same supporter will be very interested so I wouldn't fret too much.

    No to Henry's question. Would be slightly ironic to flog memorabilia in order to buy more memorabilia.

    I'm all for good causes but funding someone's missus business isn't one of them.

    They'll be enough interested bidders who I'm sure would donate them to the club. Hope one of them is successful.

    Agree AFKA reading through I was all for contributing- but then I read it was for his wife to start up. Good luck to em though!

    How much do you reckon they would go for
  • BedsaddickBedsaddick
    Can't see him getting much more than 10k for the lot.

    Why does he have two title winning medals from 2000? Or is that a typo?
  • Addick90Addick90
    surely he must have a man of the match trophy from the play off final too and was he top scorer the year we were champions?

    Not bothered where the money goes, More where the medals etc go. They're an important part of the clubs history so should remain part of the club imo.
  • StigStig
    I agree with SE10. I hope they can stay with the club somehow.

    Is one of them from the division 1 winners medal ?
  • supaclivesupaclive
    I want to buy either the match ball or shirt. That game will be the greatest game I ever witness in my lifetime, end of!

    Very sad to hear this, just think that useless twats like Marcus Bent are set for life financially whereas a genuinely high-class footballer like Clive Mendonca is reduced to this sort of thing from financial neccesity.
  • HandGHandG
    As much as the era in which he played is a contributing factor, i don't think his career choices after retiring helped the situation. Hopefully this is the start of something for him......
  • Ormiston_AddickOrmiston_Addick
    @HandG

    What "career choices" after retiring are you referring to?
  • MuttleyCAFCMuttleyCAFC
    Could we organise a well publicised collection at the game to go towards buying them and then giving them back? I'm sure a lot of fans will be very generous.

    The FA should just give Super a special accolade for having added sufficiently to Wembley's prestige with such an outstanding contribution to the modern game. This should be awarded on prime time TV and Super would gain sponsorship deals, interviews with Hello magazine and all that jazz. That would give him enough money.
