This 1954 FA Cup winner’s medal was presented to Norman Heath, a West Bromwich Albion player who sustained a career-ending injury during the tournament.
Heath suffered severe neck injuries in the semi-final match against Sunderland and had to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life. WBA went on to secure the cup with a 3-2 win against Preston North End in the final.
Heath was awarded a winner’s medal and his teammates took the trophy to his bedside in hospital. The gold medal is estimated at £4000-6000 and will be sold by Derbyshire saleroom Hansons on February 21.
