Premier League club shops might be known for unusual products, but sift through the random cuddly toys and you might find a Christmas present worth wrapping.
From jumpers to grooming kits, badges to books, here are six trophy-worthy gifts for the football fanatic in your life.
Arsenal
Sporting the same deep red colour that the club began playing in when they formed in the 19th century, the 100% pure cotton jumper is affordable and features cannon embroidery, a somewhat subtler detail than having FLY EMIRATES plastered over your shirt. £30 Available here.
Liverpool
In celebration of the club’s 125th anniversary, Liverpool commissioned “renowned international sports artist Jamie Cooper to create a truly unique artwork” – and he has certainly achieved that.
The canvas includes current and former players, as well as Jurgen Klopp and a young fan who won a competition to be included. It also makes reference to important events in the club’s history.
At its largest, this dream scene reaches 270cm x 80cm, so just be sure the recipient is definitely a Liverpool fan. £69.99 – £1,850 Available here.
Manchester United
Designed by Mancunian illustrator and Old Trafford season ticket-holder Stan Chow, other shirts available feature Romelu Lukaku, Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini among others.
Much like Arsenal’s jumper, United are offering a stylish alternative for fans whose match-day shirts are in the wash or otherwise engaged. £25 Available here.
Watford
Taylor managed Lincoln City, Aston Villa and England during his career, but nowhere was he loved more than at Watford, whom he led from Division Four to the Uefa Cup in the 1970s and 1980s.
Taylor then enjoyed a second spell at the club in the late 1990s, helping the club from Division Two to the Premier League before retiring from management.
Graham Taylor: In His Own Words is sure to be a popular read this Christmas. £19.99 Available here.
Crystal Palace
At £180 for a case of 12 bottles, fans can have six bottles of each or 12 of the same, with the red described as a “classic Bordeaux blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes” and the white “made mainly from Sauvignon Blanc grapes with a touch of Semillon”.
However, with the Eagles currently bottom of the table, fans might want to put the champagne, or wine, on ice for now. £180.00 Available here.
West Ham
The case contains details relating to each of 16 badges and their place in the Hammers’ history, from Thames Ironworks FC coming into existence to the club’s move to the London Stadium.
Know a West Ham fan who’s into their badges? Step right this way. £45 Available here.
