There as a time when a rosette was de rigueur on match days, but none more so than a cup tie.
A Wembley final in particular would see a plethora of rosettes appear, many (or most) homemade and therefore original, colourful and lovingly made.
With City’s FA Cup fifth round tie with Newport County conjuring up the romance of the competition, this week’s archive trawl seemed has unearthed more fan treasures.
READ: Blue Peter, Peter Barnes, Peterborough and Shep the dog!

The examples in the picture above were donated to us by City fan Stan Deakin.
They belonged to his friend, Stan Turner who has sadly since passed away.
The archives team will always welcome more!
Do you have a Peter Barnes Trainer in your loft? Or a rare photograph in your garage? If you have any rare City treasures you’d like to share with the Club - we’d like to hear from you!
