The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

^ As the title says.

My Mum just found my old autograph book, Diamonds shirt (blue & white stripes sponsored by Whitworths) and signed picture of me and Andy Peakes from 1996. Well pleased!

Signed picture is from the game against Hayes at home in the 1996/1997 season if anybody wants to guess the score!

The 2004-2005 home shirt. Not very old, I know ;)

To be honest I don't really collect much merchandise. I have a few shirts and programmes, but that's it.

My Tommy Bear Teddy (1997?)

I've got Irthlingborough Diamonds and Rushden Town programmes going back to the 50's and 60's.

And Rushden and Diamonds programmes from the first season (1992/93) so pretty much as early as possible


Just been sorting my 'First & Last' programme collection and came across the last Irthlingborough Diamonds and Rushden Town before the merger Can't believe some of the saddo programmes I've collected over the years tbh. Yeovil v York from 2002. First game two teams beginning with a 'Y' have played each other in the Football League. haha

probably my scarf

2-2, Alford scored one of them, can't remember who got the other now, possibly Super Daz (I could quite easily find out on the OWS, but that would be cheating ;) ).

I've got an Irthlingborough Diamonds kitbag and a T-shirt, both pre-1992 but not sure exactly how old. I also have a few old Diamonds programes. I tried to track down the old I'boro Diamonds shirts, but no one seems to know what happenned to them now. Unfortunately Dave Joyce is no longer with us to ask.

Correct. Can't remember any scorers though.

Drewe Broughton's left boot from his first Diamonds game.

Somewhere I've got a rather bedraggled 'Rushden and Diamonds on tour 1992' t-shirt with a list of all the away fixtures on. Think my mum uses it at a duster now.

Failing that I have some programmes from the Beazer Homes-winning season inc. the Merthyr game.
