John Dee has been buying and selling football programmes and related memorabillia since 1961 when he was a young boy. John was a regular stall-holder at football programme fairs in the 1970s when they first started. He remembers stalling out at places like Crystal Palace, Hendon, Leytonstone, Ilford, Walthamstow, Dulwich and many others.

John Dee left the hobby in 1980 to pursue other business interests but returned full of enthusiasm in 1996. He quickly built up a good stock and was back in the swing of the programme world once more.

John Dee's wife, Teresa, joined him in the business in 2002 and still assists at Programme Fairs up and down the country.

John Dee was a co-founder of Sportingold Ltd in 2003 with his good friend, Chris Williams, and the company quickly established itself as a major player in the sporting auction business.

John returned to concentrate on his own business in late 2004 and have been doing that ever since.
John Dee has been a regular seller on eBay since 2004 under the “harakiboy” banner so please check out his weekly listings.
