Henrey 848.Frederick Roach was one of the most acclaimed fruit experts of the 20th century. He decided on a career in horticulture at the age of 10 while helping to run his father's rectory garden in Toft, Lincolnshire. During the Second World War Roach was part of the Dig for Victory campaign and, in 1946, he was made chief horticultural officer of the newly formed National Agricultural Advisory Service. He became successively regional fruit adviser for the South West and South East before taking the post of national fruit adviser. Retirement from the ministry in 1972 triggered a new career as a consultant to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation and the World Bank. Roach's book, Cultivated Fruits of Britain, Their Origin and History (1985), is still regarded as a bible for many fruit experts. This was followed by the descriptive texts for Hooker's Finest Fruits, which was published by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1989. In 1966 he was awarded the Ridley Medal of the Worshipful Company of Fruiterers. The Royal Horticultural Society awarded him the Veitch Memorial Medal in 1978. Other illustrious winners of the award include Gertrude Jekyll (1928), Francis Kingdon-Ward (1934), Vita Sackville-West (1955), Harold Hillier (1957), Roy Lancaster (1972), David Austin (1994) and Stefan Buczacki (2010).
ALEXANDER "SANDY" ARCHIBALD OF RANGERS F.C. - A 9ct GOLD GLASGOW CUP 1922 WINNERS' MEDAL By Vaughton & Sons, Birmingham, 1922, the suspension ring also marked as 9ct, total weight 18.36g, the obverse cast with the Glasgow City Crest, the reverse engraved "Glasgow Rangers, Winners of Glasgow Cup, 30th Sept. 1922, A. Archibald", housed in its original velvet-lined tooled leather fitted case. Born in Crossgates, Fife on 23rd November 1896, Alexander Archibald began his professional footballing career at the age of nineteen, joining Glasgow Rangers after a short stint at Raith Rovers. He became a mainstay of the club, making a total 625 appearances, over the course of which he shared in three Scottish Cup victories. The first of these, in 1928, was thanks in no small part to Archibald's contribution of two goals to Rangers' 4-0 triumph over Celtic at Hampden Park. The Scotsman accordingly named him the side's "star performer". Capped eight times for Scotland, Archibald scored his only international goal, against Wales, in February 1922, the same year as he won the Glasgow Cup medal here offered. Following his retirement from the professional game, Archibald, the Flying Fifer o' the Glesca Rangers, returned to his home county, serving in managerial roles for both his first club, Raith Rovers and latterly Dunfermline Athletic. He died, aged only forty-nine, in 1946 and to this day is ranked among the top forty Scottish footballers by number of league appearances. Together with the lot is a small quantity of printed material relating to Archibald's career, including the poem Tribute to Good Old Sandy Archibald by R. McLeod of Cowdenbeath.
