Caps & co...

A new cap recently joined the "family" in my display cabinet...
Thank you, Mando!

Could someone help me to identify it ? Embroidery reads A.T.F.C. or T.A.F.C. (yes, it could be Association....). Only hint : it was manufactured in Manchester...

Realise you asked the question a long time ago - but the Cap is Torquay Athletic Football Club. Bought one recently along with other Torquay, Devon & Navy rugby memorabilia. The Club now calls itself just Torquay rugy Club. Hope this helps. Jon
