Bobby Charlton's Childhood Bible with Certificate of Authenticity

About the Item

Bearing the address of his childhood home, 114 Beatrice Street, Ashington in Northumberland, where his family lived for many years. Inscribed inside the front and back covers, and featuring Charlton's childhood nickname "Chuck". The 240-page leather-bound Bible measures approximately 9cm by 14cm, and is in well-worn condition. It was originally bought at a Manchester jumble sale in the 1980s without any knowledge that it had once belonged to Charlton. When his name was later discovered inside, the owner sent an inquiry to Charlton via his company Halba Travel Ltd. She received a note in reply confirming its authenticity, which is included with the Bible. A truly unique piece of English football history.
