HibeeJibee Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 "JBFC" could perhaps means Junior Boys FC or Juvenile Boys FC? EDIT: Yes, it's East Fife Juniors. Their honours included: * Fife Junior Cup, 1923-24 * Fife County Junior League, 1923-24 * Dunfermline Junior Cup, 1923-24 * Fife Junior Shield, 1924-25 * Martin White Cup, 1925-26 On the Fife Junior Cup (originally "Kirkcaldy Junior Cup"), auctioned in 2011 for £2,100, their inscription for the 1923-24 success is "East Fife J.B.F.C": http://www.grahambuddauctions.co.uk/bidcat/detail.asp?SaleRef=GB18&LotRef=55 It may be that they'd turned Juvenile, Amateur or whatever by late 1930s, tbf.

Thanks for that HJ. Any idea what competition the medal might be for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Fair enough. That said it is a hellish coincidence that someone comes forward to the East Fife website with a badge engraved "JBFC", and it turns out East Fife had a team operating with that unusual name a few years before, but they're unconnected. Could FC mean something else? "Junior Boys Football Cup"? "Juvenile Badge Football Competition"? etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
