A collection of historic Peterborough United memorabilia, including a match programme from the 1980s and several match-worn shirts, has been listed for sale online. The items offer a tangible link to the club's past as the full squad handles a challenging start to the 2026-27 League One season. Nytimes.com first reported the story.
Peterborough United currently sit 20th in the table with just four points from their opening five matches, a record of one win, one draw, and three losses. Their recent form reads LDLWL, and they have scored only three goals while conceding nine, leaving them with a -6 goal difference. The gap to the top is already significant, with Darren Ferguson's side eight points behind early leaders Sheffield Wednesday.
The most notable item is an original programme from Chesterfield FC's home match against Peterborough United in the first round of the 1987/88 League Cup. This piece of football history is priced at $6.18 and is marked as used with one copy available. Alongside this are three match-worn Peterborough United shirts spanning different eras. A 2021/2022 away shirt, made by Puma in a men's size small, is listed for $57.99. A home shirt from the 2020-2021 season, also by Puma in a medium, is available for $35.00. The oldest kit is a 2010-2011 away shirt manufactured by Adidas, featuring the number 24 and the name BELL on the back in an adult extra-large size, priced at $54.74.
While fans can purchase relics from past campaigns, the focus for the club is firmly on improving the present. The defensive record, with nine goals conceded, will be a particular concern for the coaching staff as they prepare for the next fixture. The availability of these used shirts, presumably worn by players in those specific seasons, provides a direct connection between the club's heritage and its ongoing story.
The memorabilia is listed on a sales platform that also features advertisements and a soccer-themed puzzle section called 'Connections: Soccer Edition'. All items are noted as being in used condition with only a single unit available for each, suggesting they are unique collector's pieces rather than mass-produced replicas. This platform provides a marketplace for football fans to buy and sell items of historical interest beyond the typical club shop offerings.
The immediate future involves a trip to stadium:mk to face Milton Keynes Dons on September 12, 2026. MK Dons are currently 18th in the table, making this a key early-season encounter for both sides. A positive result is needed to build momentum and start moving away from the relegation zone. The club will hope the current players can create new memories for future fans to cherish, just as the shirts and programme now for sale represent moments from decades past.
Peterborough United's next opportunity to change their form comes in six days against Milton Keynes Dons.
