Hornchurch Pin Badge

 

A bit expensive for what it is, but looks good anyway, old skool!

[Uncle Urchin]

hhhmmmmm...not expensive at all really....50's?

[PlaistowDan]

If it is from that period then not expensive at all I guess, I think it looks good, but it isn't for me! it should go to a real Urchins fan, I'm just a part time supporter!

[Uncle Urchin]

aint we all...

[PlaistowDan]

Ha ha, I'm hoping to get over there tomorrow for the first time since December, should be a winning return! one question though....is it still £6 to get in?!?!?!?! ok, let's not start that all again!

The hornchurch badge on ebay is from the 198o's is worth about £4.

[Dagger03]

The ebay badge was on sale during the 80s and early 90s - it came in two colours - one with a gilt finish and one with a silver finish. It was criticised at the time for the poor design, (the cross seems to come out of the cow's head).

 

It was then replaced by the FofF badge which was available for a few years in the 90s. To save anyone asking the FofF stands for Friends of Football, and does not denote any other abbreviation.

 

The ebay badge is not worth more than £3 to £5. The only Hornchurch badge that is worth any reasonable sum is the original Hornchurch badge, which is the same as the Hornchurch & Upminster badge, apart from the name change. I would expect these to sell for at least £30 each. There is not Upminster FC badge, as far as I know - the Upminster FC badge which occasionally turns up on ebay is the Essex Olympian League club.
