1908 GOLD MANCHESTER UNITED MEDAL

A rare medal awarded to trail-blazing Manchester United goalkeeper Harry Moger after he helped United win their very first Football League Title in 1908, is set to fetch around £30,000 at auction.

The 15-carat gold Football League Championship medal is inscribed: ‘Manchester United F.C.H. Moger, League Champions,Season 1907-1908.”

It is expected to sell for between £25,000 and £35,000 at Graham Budd Auctions in London on Tuesday, October 27.

Harry Moger joined Manchester United in 1903 and was a member of the United team that won the club’s first major honours, namely the Football League titles in 1908 and 1911 and the FA Cup in 1909, the first of United’s 11 FA Cup final triumphs.

In their book, ‘Manchester United : A Complete Record, 1878-1992’, Ian Morrison and Alan Shury, say: “Harry Moger was United’s regular goalkeeper during their first really successful period between 1908 and 1911, when they won the League Championship twice and the FA Cup.

The year, 1908, was momentous for Harry Moger. Not only did he help Manchester United win the Football League title that year, he also married wife, Annie, from Droylsden.
