Palace in the Attic uncovers player contract from 1937
The latest remarkable find from our Palace in the Attic campaign comes from our Club Historian, Ian King, who owns an original player contract from 1937.
The forms are for Harvey Pritchard, a player who had represented England against Scotland at Junior level before he joined from Coventry City for a “nominal sum.”

Ian cannot remember how much he paid for the item several years ago but had to own the artefact as “it is hardly something I had ever seen and I thought: ‘No matter who the player is, it will be fascinating to read.’”
