For over 51 years, Dave Matthews was the heartbeat of West Bromwich Albion — a kit man who turned up at 15 and never really left.

He knew every manager, every dressing room tale, and had the quiet instinct to keep hold of things others would have thrown away.

The result is a remarkable collection of shirts, memorabilia, and one-of-a-kind pieces that tell the story of a football club through the eyes of the man who looked after it from the inside.

In this special edition of the unmissable in Sport, Adam Gascoigne is joined by Dave's daughters Alison and Claire to share their memories, the stories behind the lots, and why now felt like the right time to let a life's worth of history find new homes — ahead of our sale on the 9th and 10th of June.
