'Old Skool' Leather Football

21/08/2008

Ah those were the days, jumpers for goalposts, scraped knees and muddied shorts, oranges at half time (the height of luxury) and it seemed to rain a lot - nostalgia bound up in a ball. This beauty is more a monument to the past than a football (you won't want to get it dirty, it looks so nice).

Italian made, hand-stitched and coming in its own cloth bag, this 'old school' Leather Football is a thing of beauty, and deserves a plinth more than it does a pitch.
