A Football Souvenir For the World Cup
Football Souvenir
Remember 1966? Of course you don’t. The only thing you know about 1966 is the grainy footage of Geoff Hurst banging in the fourth goal in the World Cup final against Germany and the commentator saying ‘They Think It’s All Over, It is Now!’. Well this is 2010 and we are all hoping for England to do well in the World Cup in South Africa.
Anyone with a ticket from the ‘66 World Cup or a programme from the final is the owner of a great football souvenir. This kind of football memorabilia changes hands for a lot of money and football gifts from each world cup final become more collectible with time.
We have a hunch the England No.1 Fan will be a great football souvenir and of value in years to come. We have emails from collectors saying they haven’t even taken their Man Utd/Chelsea/Arsenal No.1 Fan out of the box to ensure it’s value in the future!
Personally we think they might be a bit mad. We’d prefer it if the No.1 fan was out there singing ‘C’mon England’ or ‘Rule Brittania’ as much as possible. If you want to buy one and keep it in a cupboard for forty years and then bring it out to Antiques Roadshow in 2050 then that’s fine, but whatever you do, the No.1 Fan is a great football souvenir of our times.
The No.1 Fan – A Football gift to write home about!
