Saw this on twitter, thought it might be someone on here, but can't see a related thread. Anyone have any idea of how to help out? Even just retweeting/ liking might help out in terms of exposure

First good idea sky blue twitter has ever had.

But wouldn't ever say by whom

What a brilliant gesture this would be.

Yeah could see this story being picked up by wider press. Could be a good bit of PR for us as a club / community

Although, have we totally ruled out that the person that started this campaign isn’t the current owner of the medal lol I imagine we’d raise quite a lot

I'm not sure how we could possibly track them down to be honest.

Probably best option is to contact the auction house, explain what you doing and find out if they still have the buyers details. If they do have them, ask if they would be willing to pass a message to them regarding us seeking the medals and our willingness to compensate the current owner to be able to return them to their original owner. And if that person has sold them on, would they be willing to forward the message as well ?

I really don't know if Christies would want to be a third party messenger but unless we put a wanted advert in the media, it's the only start I can think of.

If we can’t find it let’s win him a new one next year

Maybe national football museum may know

Robinshio · May 19, 2023

But based on selling price of 12k with vat you would probably need 40k now

Gynnsthetonic · May 19, 2023

Misread that as a Taxi for Robins

shmmeee · May 19, 2023

Reckon your best bet is to get the national media to run something.

Try putting this on a couple of the UTD forums, chances are it was bought by a man u fan.

Fucking hell, you lot have too much spare time on your hands. Give it a fuckung break. If some millionaire wants his medals back, let him buy them himself.

Does anyone know who runs the account I’ve been busy pulling in some favours and networking??

The only medal I can see that was bought and the declared value was Norman white side and his medal went for £30,000
