Club Treasures: Bert Johnston autographed ball

Bert Johnston played centre half for Sunderland at Wembley in the 1937 FA Cup final as the cup was won for the first time.

He collected his team-mates autographs on this mini-football which was presented to the club in a small glass case by his son, David, who played league football for Exeter and Stockport.

Bert was capped by Scotland in the year Sunderland won the cup and coached at the club after World War II.

Q. Where can I find it?
