This is quite an amazing eBay auction, not just because in the reflection of the mini-trophy, you can see that the vendor is completely naked. This week, David Villa’s Euro 2008 shirt appeared on eBay, with a quite remarkable bag of Euro 2008 booty, including the player’s gold medal. At £4,500 it’s a bit of a poke, but by golly, it’s an exciting auction.

You know, this picture- snapped on Hipstamatic on my iPhone straight from the telly, was retweeted on Twitpic over 3,100 times today. There you go.

It’s always a race to get the first match worn England shirt home from a World Cup. This year, the winner is ‘England Match Shirts’ who have paraded what looks like a Scott Parker England vs Japan shirt (and boots no less) on Facebook today.

Jubilant Jermaine Defoe smashed England into the group stages yesterday with a fine poacher’s goal against Slovenia, but close-ups of his match trotters in todays papers reveal he had some help from a pair of specially customised, Frankenstein-boots.

Jermaine-man’s AdiZeros were a cannibalised mixture of the injection moulded studs, with what looks like old fashioned metal studs. Crazy. But where can man get this done to his own boots? Well, www.copaconversions.co.uk have been doing this kind of caper to Adidas boots for a while, at great cost. Perhaps they’ll mess with your AdiZeros…for a price.

This little beauty is in a friend’s private collection, but I couldn’t resist taking a snap when I popped round this weekend. What you’re looking at is Jurgen Klinsmann’s first shirt worn as German captain in 1994, after taking over the armband from Lothar Matthäus. An armband which is superbly included. Enjoy.

(Oh, and in case you were wondering, it’ll be worth around £2,000-£3,000 going on recent auction prices)

I’m at a World Cup barbeque and this couple have stolen the show with their replica shirts. Two cotton tee shirts, some pens, and a lot of effort.

“this would have cost £130 as an original so I did my own using pens.”
Germany fan.

This Rooney image was created by one of the chaps who designed the web conquering Sabotage Times, and these truly original designer tee shirts are an edgy alternative to the replica shirt this World Cup. For more info and a special discount, go here!

I’m just watching the Soccer Aid match on telly, and they’re playing it at Old Trafford. I just saw ‘Arry give his team talk in the dressing room, and it reminded me I’d taken these snaps of the place when I played myself at Old Trafford last month. Here are those photos…check out the iPod dock!
