JIMMY DICKINSON OF ENGLAND, MATCH WORN INTERNATIONAL JERSEY, 15TH APRIL 1950 worn vs. Scotland in the Home Championship match, embroidered crest inscribed SCOTLAND V ENGLAND APRIL 1950, ST. BLAIZE label to interior, number 6 verso, long-sleeve Note: Jimmy Dickinson MBE (1925–1982) is a Portsmouth F.C. legend, with a record total of 764 appearances for the club.'He signed for Portsmouth as a trainee and made his debut in 1946 against Blackburn Rovers. Settling into the side quickly at either wing-half or left-half, he was part of the team that won successive league championships in 1948–49 and 1949–50. His performances earned him a call-up to the England national team. He went on to win 48 caps for England, making him Portsmouth's most capped English player of all time. During his record 845 club appearances for Pompey and his 48 England caps he was never once booked or sent off, earning him the nickname 'Gentleman Jim'.'This shirt was worn during the 1950 Home Championship tie vs. Scotland. It is offered as part of the collection relating to Rangers and Scotland legend, Willie Woodburn, and was gained as a swap.'England once again clinched the Home International Championship—and with it a place in the World Cup finals—with this hard-fought win in front of a massive crowd of 133,250 spectators. It was a very close game with both sides grappling for supremacy.'Match Report as appears in the F.A. Yearbook 1950-51, pages 24-25On April [15th] at Hampden Park, Glasgow, England played Scotland in the last home international of the season, and won back the international championship by a 1-0 victory. Though the teams were very evenly matched. England's slight superiority in finish probably turned the scale. Scotland were, however, unlucky not to force the draw which would have kept them in the World Cup. Scotland attacked strongly at the start and kept the initiative through most of the first-half, Williams making flying saves from the menacing drives of Waddell, Steel and Liddell. In the second-half England's superior power of combination, particularly at wing-half, began to tell. But they still had not found effective form in forcing home their good approach play. The solitary goal of the match came in the 64th minute, when Langton at outside-left cut down the wing and sent a low pass to Bentley, who drove hard into the Scottish net. In the last twenty minutes Scotland attacked strongly, but the English defence stood firm. On the 1949/50 Home Championships,'1949–50 British Home Championship was one of the most significant competitions of the British Home Championship football tournament. This year saw the competition doubling up as Group 1 in the qualifying rounds for the 1950 FIFA World Cup. It was the first time that either England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland (IFA) had entered a World Cup competition. It was also a significant moment in the history of Irish football as it was the last time that the (Northern) Irish Football Association entered a team featuring players born in both Northern Ireland and what is now the Republic of Ireland.

* BENNO SCHOTZ RSA (ESTONIAN 1891 - 1984), THE PRINCE OF GOALKEEPERS (JOHN THOMSON OF CELTIC F.C.),, CIRCA 1968 bronzed resinA bronze of this sculpture is in the collection of Celtic F.C.Note on both Schotz and Thomson:Benno Schotz was born to Jewish parents, Jacob Schotz, a watchmaker, and Cherna Tischa Abramovitch, in Arensburg, Russia (now Kuressaare, Estonia) in 1891. He was educated at the Boys Grammar School of Pärnu, Estonia. Later he studied at the Grossherzogliche Technische Hochschule in Darmstadt, Germany. In 1912, he immigrated to Glasgow, where he gained an engineering diploma from the Royal Technical College and from 1914–23 worked in the drawing office of John Brown and Company, Clydebank shipbuilders while attending evening classes in sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art. Schotz became a full-time sculptor in 1923 and subsequently a member of the Royal Scottish Academy, Head of Sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art (a post he held from 1938 until his retirement in 1961), and later, in 1963, Her Majesty's Sculptor in Ordinary for Scotland. His pupils included Hannah Frank, Paul Zunterstein and Inge King (née Neufeld). His homes at West Campbell Street and later Kirklee Road were a focus for meetings of artists, writers, actors, and politicians. His first solo Glasgow exhibition was at Reid's Gallery in 1926 and his first in London at Alex Reid and Lefevre Ltd (Lefevre Gallery) in 1930. He was also a member of Glasgow Art Club, alongside recently arrived refugee artists Jankel Adler and Josef Herman, for whom he organised local Jewish community support. In 1942 he organised the important 'Jewish Art Exhibition' at the Glasgow Institute as an act of Jewish cultural identity during the Second World War. In 1981 Schotz was made a Freeman of the City of Glasgow and in the same year, Gordon Wright published his autobiography, Bronze in My Blood. During his career, Schotz produced several hundred portraits and compositions including figure compositions, religious sculptures, semi-abstracts and modelled portraits, the majority located in Glasgow and the surrounding area. A major retrospective exhibition of his works was held at the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh in 1971. He was Life-President of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts as well as Honorary Member of both the Royal British Society of Sculptors and the Royal Institute of Architects in Scotland. His last sculpture was executed less than six weeks before his death, aged 93. He was a committed Zionist and was buried in Jerusalem. His work is represented in numerous UK collections including The National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh City Art Centre, The Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Aberdeen Galleries, The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, BBC Scotland, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow Museums & Galleries, The Peoples Palace (Glasgow), The Scottish Jewish Archives Centre, Ben Uri Gallery & Museum (London) and the House of Commons (London). His work is also held in various public collections in Israel. Christie's held a major Studio Sale of Benno Schotz's work in Glasgow in 1997.John Thomson, The Prince of Goalkeepers, is one of the most important figures in the history of Celtic Football Club.Having signed for the team in 1926 at the age of 17, his natural athleticism and brave spirit ensured he would become a mainstay between the sticks. He helped the team to two Scottish Cups and three Glasgow Cups. He would also represent the national side and national select XI four times apiece.Thomson's name will forever be associated with the tragedy that befell him during an Old Firm clash on the 5th September 1931. The match was played at Ibrox in front of 80,000 fans. Early in the 2nd half, Thomson collided with Rangers player Sam English, whilst both going for the ball. Most people assumed the goalkeeper badly injured as he was stretchered off, Chic Geatons taking his place in goal.Upon being transported to the Victoria Infirmary, Thomson would soon be pronounced dead. The death of a young goalkeeper in his prime shocked the footballing world. Beyond that, the tragic loss of a young man's life, only 22 years of age and recently engaged, still stands as amongst the most profound moments in sporting history.40,000 people attended the funeral in his home town of Cardenden, including thousands who travelled from Glasgow, many walking the 55 miles to the Fife village. 101cm wide

R.) nearly extremely fine (3) £140-£180 --- Edward Smith was born in 1893 and lived in the small Cumbrian village of Glasson on the course of Hadrian’s Wall, near Drumburgh. One of the ‘original’ members of the Battalion, his name is listed as part of “B” Company in the 11th Battalion Nominal Roll of November 1915. He crossed the Channel to France on 23 November 1915 and was soon preparing camp at Bouzincourt, close to the town of Albert in the Somme Department. The First Day of the Battle of the Somme The experiences and sacrifices of the 11th Battalion, Border Regiment, on 1 July 1916, are described by many historians as typifying the slaughter on the Somme. Detailed to emerge from the front line trenches and advance across No Man's Land in the Leipzig Salient, it wasn't long before carefully aimed enfilade fire from the German-held Nordwerk began to mow down the infantry in scores: ‘At 8am exactly Colonel Machell gave the order from the edge of Authuille Wood to move out. The Lonsdales wished each other good luck and shook hands, then they started their advance, some cheering and singing as if at a football match. They moved in blob formation, little groups of men being slightly to the rear of the one in front and slightly to the flank, this being considered the best formation under shell fire. As soon as the Lonsdales came into the open the deadly enfilade machine gun fire ripped through their ranks. The Germans found their mark; a hail of bullets cut furrows in the earth as the machine gunners found their range. The Lonsdales were being strewn all over the ground.’ Of the 28 officers and 800 men who took part in the attack, 25 officers and 490 men were killed or wounded that day. According to the Lonsdale Battalion Casualty List, "C" Company lost 22 killed and 106 wounded; a few survivors managed to reach the 17th Highlanders who succeeded in capturing the Leipzig Redoubt - perhaps the greatest success for 32nd Division that day - but contemporary accounts later described the majority of the men as being 'cut down like grass'. It would be another three months before the original objective of Mouquet Farm was finally captured on 26 September 1916, with further daily losses of life. Remaining with the 11th Battalion throughout the Great War, Smith was discharged to Army Reserve on 6 April 1919.
