    Lawrie Reilly's Medals For sale

    Can't see this posted anywhere else.

    Lawrie Reilly's Medals are going up for sale and the Hibs Historical Trust are going to try to buy them.

    http://www.hibshistoricaltrust.org.u...eilly-s-medals

    Looking for donations to help it along, Im away to donate.

    Thought it was worth posting

    Surely someone from the Trust should try to contact Ron Gordon/his "people"?

    The positive PR for him must be worth the relatively modest outlay?

    I would never buy a football club, as people expect you to put your hand pocket for everything.

    as well they should. If they want the benefits, whatever those might be of owning a club, they can pay for the privilege and continue paying. The supporters certainly pay plenty every year

    Aint that the truth! 🙄
    The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits

    The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game

    That’ll be a question for Ron Gordon. Because he certainly hasn’t bought Hibs for no reason

    I think even he now knows he'd be unlikely to win at the auction.

    If I was then I’ve fallen for the old switcheroo and Funso Ojo would be playing for us instead of Vela

    Be a great gesture for the club to purchase them to display

    [QUOTE=vahibbie;5891250]Lot 223, estimate

    Will take both at that price and they can be kept somewhere inside the stadium. If the club agree of course. That said its and auction so let's get what we can for them.

    I’ve checked local auctions but can’t see them.

    Normally the seller would let an interested party know-the trust, and drum up interest but I can only see interest coming from the trust and hibs fans.

    Hopefully we can avoid bidding against each other for the same purpose.

    I saw it on Twitter - it's Thomson Roddick if that helps. Lovely gesture, well played sir.

    I believe the third one is on display at Boroughmuir High School, where Lawrie was a pupil. I'm guessing his family donated it to the school.

    I was under the impression that he didn't qualify for the first medal due to age or number of appearances. I may be wrong - can anyone confirm?

    If there is a medal at the school is anyone aware of it??

    I think the only way to do this, would be donate to the Trust and let them do their stuff.
