Mugs, jugs and tankards

Mugs have long been a favourite piece of merchandise for football clubs; even Coconuts has got in on the act. Occasionally, along comes a variation on the theme, such as a commemorative tankard or a water jug. The examples reproduced here are from the collections of Andrew Bennett, Barry Benton, Warren Dosanjh, Michael Fagan, David French, Wendy Redfarn, Paul Sawtell, David Quate and Pat Morgan. If you would like to share a picture of, or even donate or loan a mug, jug, tankard or similar, please get in touch here. You will, of course, receive due credit. Click on any image to enlarge.
