Sir Geoff Hurst Signed Framed Shirt And Photos

What do you buy football fans who have everything?  A piece of history that celebrates the mighty game!  This fantastic gift comprises an authentic shirt that has been signed by Sir Geoff Hurst (I’m female and not a footy fan, but even I know that “they thinks it’s all over, well it is now” refers to his final of three goasl in the England v Germany world cup match, that secured England’s victory in 1966).  Bearing in mind that we are still waiting to reclaim the title, no matter how many times we chant “football is coming home”, you can easily see why this signed shirt is so collectable.

In an elegant frame, the shirt is accompanied by two colour photos of Geoff scoring and the team celebrating.  The recipient will also receive a photo showing Geoff signing the shirt, and an authentication certificate bearing the recipient’s name.

Staying on the World Cup 1966 theme, for an extra special gift, a replica 1966 England Shirt has been personally signed by an incredible ten members of the historic World Cup winning squad: Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Geoff Hurst, Jack Charlton, Martin Peters, Roger Hunt, Gordon Banks, George Cohen, Ray Wilson, Nobby Stiles and the late Alan Ball.

This is a gift that will be treasured by the person who receives it.  Also available are signed shirts by Torres, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pele, Maradona and many more.

MANCHESTER UTD 1963 Retro Football Shirts

MANCHESTER UTD 1963 Retro Football Shirts

If the man in your life is a footy fan, my guess would be that he would much prefer a new football strip or at least a shirt for Valentine’s Day rather than a cute or soppy gift.  Whichever team he supports; his local non-league team, a top-flight major club, or a national squad, you are bound to find the perfect gift at UKSoccershop.  Depending on how serious he is, you might like to surprise him with a retro shirt like this one from 1963 for Manchester United (Don’t worry if Man U doesn’t float his boat – there are plenty of other retro shirts to choose from).  Get it right, and he just may be so thrilled that he treats you to that romantic meal that you would like!

Sad I know, but watch the proud look on his face when he wears it to play 5-a-side with his mates.

Charles Buchan Football

November 17, 2008 - 4:07 pm No Comments

CHARLES BUCHAN FOOTBALLBY COLLOCO HOMEWARE AND GIFTS Never mind ‘Shoot’ and ‘Match’, who can remember the very first football magazine, ‘Charles Buchan’s football monthly?’  Okay, go and ask your dad!  No doubt it will send him off down memory lane to tales of when men played ‘proper football’.  Of course you could test his knowledge and impress him with what you know too, for instance, who was Charles Buchan?  The answer being, Charlie Buchan was an England international before and after the First World War, and then became a journalist.  He was born in London in 1892, became captain of England, Sunderland and Arsenal, and he is Sunderland’s all time record league scorer, with 209 league goals to his credit.  Charles Buchan died in 1960 at the age of 68.

On his decision to start the monthly magazine, Charles Buchan wrote, “For many years, after the old Athletic News closed down, there was no paper or magazine devoted exclusively to the game. It was in a bid to fill this gap that in 1951 I started the Charles Buchan’s Football Monthly. It has caught on so well that it was obvious something of the kind was desperately needed. It is a new field for me and I am getting as much pleasure from it as I did from my playing days. One is never too old to learn”.

This fabulous 18 panel football is printed with images and archives from that very magazine, which was first published in September 1951.  The first words written were “Our object is to provide a publication that will be worthy of our National game and the grand sportsmen who play and watch it”.

This item is delivered in an illustrated gift box.

A matching flask and wallet are also available.
