During World War I, he guested for Chesterfield, Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town, although these appearances are not considered official. In 1919 he turned professional and signed for Arsenal. Highlights of the Collection included Baker's match worn red Arsenal jersey from F.A. Cup Final v Huddersfield Town played at Wembley Stadium April 28, 1930, by Bukta, long-sleeved with embroidered club crest, white collar and cuffs, which sold £31,330 to a Private UK Collector against an estimate of £15,000-20,000 [lot 33]; while Baker's match-worn red Arsenal jersey from the 1927 F.A. Cup Final v Cardiff City sold £28,920 to a Private UK Collector against an estimate of £10,000-15,000 [lot 31];

The interest in jerseys continued on the second day of the sale with strong prices for Manchester United pieces.

As Graham Budd said: “Making his debut at Manchester United on December 6, 1992, Eric Cantona would give the final four and a half seasons of his professional football career to the club. Over 182 appearances for United, Cantona scored 82 goals in his iconic No.7 jersey with the collar turned up!”

Other high prices included Ryan Giggs’ signed red and white Manchester United no.11 jersey for the match against IFK Goteborg in the UEFA Champions League Group A at Old Trafford, 14th September 1994 which sold for £9,038 to an overseas buyer against an estimate of £500-600.
