Club Treasures: Silver Salver from SoL opening

Ajax of Amsterdam presented Sunderland with this silver salver to mark the opening of the Stadium of Light, as the four-time European champions were the invited opponents for the first-ever match at the stadium.

The game ended 0-0 in front a capacity crowd who created a carnival atmosphere following pre-match activities, including a blessing by the Bishop of Durham before Status Quo performed after arriving by helicopter.

Q. Where can I find it?
