As well as the history of the Football League and its clubs, there are a number of Exeter City related items to look for. Representing Exeter City are three items:

  • the matchworn Dunga shirt from the Brazil legends friendly in 2004 on the club’s centenary;
  • a framed photo of Dunga and Glenn Cronin from the same match; andDon Valley, Rotherham United Sheffield
  • a plaque of the original Exeter City v Brazil match from 1904.

Plus there is a piece of Radio Devon commentary from 2 key football matches for Exeter City, with Jimmy Giles closing down the Old Trafford game, and Graham Kirk unable to contain is excitement as Logan heads a goal at Don Valley as City secured back to back promotions.
