Steve Phillips Charity badge


Current (2013) Crewe goalkeeper Steve Phillips hs been involved in much charity work over the last year and his latest venture is a London-Paris bike ride.  This badge was made and sold to raise funds for the charity.  Well done Steve.

Club and Country


This lovely Crewe Alex & England badge is long overdue as people have been asking for one of these for years.  It is certainly work the wait.  Its the old club logo next to the cross of St George.

Coventry v Crewe JPT Trophy Semi Final 2013


These 5 badges are the ones I have so far from the February 2013 Johnstones Paint Trophy Semi Final vs Coventry City.  The top badge was found on ebay and is enamel with all the match details.  The bottom four badges were obtained at the ground on the night and are metal backed with that sticky type inset.  All seem to be done with the 1st leg at Coventry in mind as the coventry shirt comes first.  I heard rmours that there may have been more badges on the night in Cov so I'll keep a lookout.  I am also watching to see if a 2ng leg version of the enamel badge has been made.

Spurs Road to Wembley 1961


This white "Road to Wembley" badge was produced in 2012 as part of a set in 6 colours (white, red, light blue, dark blue, silver and gold) commemorating Tottenhams 1961 FA Cup Victory.  Spurs played Crewe in the 4th round beating us 5-1 at White Hart Lane.  The Crewe logo used is the intertwined C & A that could be seen on the club programme at the time.  The CAFC logo at the top is Charlton who were Spurs victims in Rd 3.

Crewe v Cardiff 2006 Match Badge


This Crewe v Cardiff badge from April 2006 was part of a very short lived venture by someone in Cardiff who started producing match badges for the last few games of the 05/06 season and then apparently stopped. 

In the words of the guy I bought it off...."It was made by the unofficial badge seller at Cardiff. He only covered the last 3 away games that season v Southampton, Crewe & Coventry, I don't think they sold that well because he didn't bother the following season."

This badge is both rare and nicely made.



Nick Powell 25

This badge from 2012 shows the red shirt and no.25 of Nick Powell who left Crewe to join Manchester United in the Summer of 2012.  Its made for Manchester United but the red and number are exactly as they were from his time at Crewe.
