Leeds United matchday programmes have emerged as some of the most sought-after by fans and collectors, with over £4,200 spent on just 10 individual editions sold on eBay – placing them among the top five most valuable in the Premier League.
That’s according to new research from Where The Trade Buys (WTTB.co.uk), one of the UK’s leading print providers of books and brochures, which analysed the 10 most expensive programmes ever sold on eBay for each club competing in the 2025/26 Premier League.
The figures place Leeds United just behind Spurs and ahead of clubs like Manchester United and West Ham, showing just how prized their programmes are among fans and collectors, as well as highlighting the lasting power of print to preserve football’s most memorable moments.
Among the highest-value Leeds programmes were:
- Chesterfield vs Leeds United (1960) – £1,420
- Leeds United vs Manchester United (1946-1947) – £892.62
- Leeds United vs Ferencváros (1968) – £567.97
Wolverhampton Wanderers topped the overall rankings, with a total of £6,327.96 spent across their 10 most valuable programmes.
Emma Thomson from wttb.co.uk, herself a former Arsenal Women’s youth player and self-professed Tottenham Hotspur die-hard, commented:
“For both fans and collectors, there’s something timeless about a printed matchday programme. Leeds’ position near the top of the table shows just how much these physical programmes still mean, with people willing to invest significant amounts of money to own a piece of football history.
“Even in an increasingly digital age, print retains a unique emotional and cultural value. As this research shows, decades-old programmes still resonate deeply with football supporters.”
