Newsboy
You must have been polishing your plaque because I have got four of the buggers and they are all tarnished. Strangely the boy himself doesn't- can't be real silver !
Wouldn't imagine that KBL have the money/ connections to hand those out. They were a homage to Max Aitken and his days as organiser/ sponsor with the Daily Express.
