Stan Crowther 9ct gold Manchester United v Bolton Wanderers FA Cup Runners Up medal, the obverse engraved THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION, the reverse engraved THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION CHALENGE CUP RUNNERS UP S CROWTHER 1957/8, with original ring suspension and fitted presentation box. Crowther had played against Manchester United for Aston Villa in the previous year's final, gaining a winners medal in the 2-1 victory, but then became one of the only two players to represent two teams in the competition during the same season after joining Manchester United in the February of 1958 for £18,000 following special dispensation from the FA in the wake of the Munich disaster, the transfer being completed just hours before the game against Sheffield Wednesday, ironically in the FA Cup, kicked off.
