The family of John have very kindly donated a number of wonderful items to the Museum including his Scotland v England Cap, his Scotland player blazer, the Omega Seamaster watch presented to John by the Charlton directors and a number of photographs and contracts.
We're very proud to have these items but being 60 years old the cap and blazer in particular need some professional cleaning and restoration. When that has been done we'll also need some mannequins and other display equipment so that as many fans as possible can see them.
I'll post some photos but first things first

Very worthy scheme. Just xferred a score.
Would be great if people shared this on blogs, facebook, twitter etc etc etc
My name is Chief Adi D'kted and I am the former Chief Cashier of the Bank of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The global growth in demand for scarce raw materials and the industrial surges in China, India, Russia, Brazil and other developing countries require that developed countries employ new, integrated and responsive strategies for identifying and ensuring, on a continual basis, an adequate supply of strategic and critical materials required for their security needs.
As part of this integration the Bank of Kinshasa now holds several sleeping accounts, one of which holds almost $38m (US), made up of assets from the former Peoples Republic of Libya, to which I am sole signatory.
Your requests for funding falls within the remit of identified needs and I am happy to allow 205 of the funds from this account to be transferred directly to your National Westminster account. This transfer can take place overnight, but we need both PIN number and password to set up the electronic transfer (fees to be paid by the Bank of Kinshasa).
Please send these details by return to ensure rapid deposit.
Yours in God.
We're having a new website built so we plan to include those options there.
We've found one for just under £100 for the blazer plus about £10 for the cap.
The cleaning and restoration we haven't got a price for yet but will be surprise if it less than £300 or more likely to be a bit more than that. Can't just take them to the local dry cleaners.
The cap in particular needs some work
Keep them coming and spread the word.
Donations still needed and welcome.
We've had £270 donated so far thanks to some very generous people but the restorer thinks it will cost up to £500 plus VAT to repair the blazer and cap so if you can please help.

She be coming back to me with a proper quote on the cost. The blazer is better than she expected and most likey just needs a thorough clean.
The cap needs a bit more.
So any more donations most welcome.
Also had a contact from another star from that era so some more historic memorabilia heading to the museum soon from Florida.
Don't know if they are all from here but a few are so thanks to Curb-it, Len Glover, GHF and anyone else who's name I haven't recognised.
The estimate for cleaning and restoring the cap and blazer came in yesterday. £300 plus £60 vat.
Add to that the cost of a mannequin, a display case for the cap and repair of the gold watch and we're looking at £600+
So any more that people can spare will be gratefully added to the pot.
