This fob is inscribed “CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIP CREWE 1927 NATIONAL” around the border and “NEVER BEHIND” on a central banner. The second, larger fob is a copper-toned token displaying an Irish harp surrounded by shamrocks, inscribed “THE IRISH HARP” on one side. The reverse is engraved with the inscription: “GOOD LUCK TYE WHER’ER YE BE, AT HOME ABROAD OR ON THE SEA”.
