POSTPONED: Very Scarce (like hens teeth comes to mind) 1962/1963 Manchester United v Leyton Orient match programme, not the usual red/white edition but in black/white print, full 4 pages with team line-ups but lacks (to the cover) the season (1962/1963), lacks (to the cover) the date (believed to be 19 January 1963) and lacks (to the cover) the programme number (believed to be No. 16). Considered to be a printers proof copy, stopped in production, by the match cancellation, retained for reference only and not officially issued. The postponed football matches, in early 1963 era due to the freezing weather conditions, became a common problem and threw the league fixtures into chaos further aggravated by the FA cup matches (also cancelled) which took preference over the league fixtures when the grounds became playable. Hence, many match programmes were pulped or inferior editions were printed as emergency issues, some becoming collectors dreaded category 'must have' versions when available—perhaps this item comes within that definition. Condition fair/good, has a small tear to opening edge, no writing. (1)
