TWICKENHAM 1990s DEBENTURE LOUNGE FOB COLLECTION |
| WRM-1060-mmbd-twick-fob |
|
A group of 27 Twickenham debenture lounge fobs dating between 1993 and 2000. Replaced in the 2000s by lanyards, these fobs were used to identify the eligibility of debenture holders to enter the relevant lounges at the stadium. The collection belonged to and was maintained by Jenny, the wife of John Ryan. Both John & Jenny followed England together with John's good friend Jim McCarthy, an Ireland fan and on occasion his Welsh born wife Lynda too. John & Jim were friends for 62 years and for most of that time were fervent and committed rugby supporters. Sadly Jim is no longer with us so this exhibit has been donated the the museum by Jenny as a memorial to that long friendship. The World Rugby Museum salutes the long lasting rugby friendship of John & Jim. |

The bulk of the collection included newspaper reports, mainly of the 2003 Rugby World Cup win. A large selection of Twickenham programmes and match tickets. | |
