FOOTBALL fans have been filling festive stockings with special newspaper cup editions - raising more than £300 for district causes.

David Parry has only two Sports Argus FA Cup Final editions left after raising £340 from auctioning the treasure trove.

One lady paid £100 to land the famous Midlands final when West Brom beat Birmingham City 2-1 in 1931 and the edition marking Albion's 3-2 victory over Preston North End 20 years later.

However, it is Wolverhampton Wanderers fans who have been not so keen to bid for the souvenirs.

Mr Parry said: "I have two copies left. Wolves' 3-0 victory over Blackburn in 1960 and their 3-1 win over Leicester City in 1949 - so come on you Wolves fans!

"I have been very pleased with the money raised. Many calls have been from women looking to buy something different for their husband's Christmas present."

Money raised will go to Save Kidderminster Hospital Campaign election wing Health Concern and the Ray Mercer Sporting Foundation, a Shuttle/Times & News fund which supports the district's most talented youngsters.

Anyone willing to bid for the two remaining souvenirs should call Mr Parry on 01562 638452.
