When you start out in a relationship with a guy who loves football, for his birthday you buy him some tickets to a game, for Christmas you buy him a DVD of his team's best goals, for Valentine's day you buy him a mug with his teams' name emblazoned on the front, for your anniversary you buy him......eek! You know that only gifts with some kind of relevance to football are going to be good enough for your man! What to buy the man who loves football and only football, and nothing else but football when he has everything he could possibly ever want that's got to do with football??

Don't fear or fret!!! Many of the people who are hooked on football also love collecting their team's football shirts. In fact, I think it is fair to say that football shirts are probably the most sought after gift of a diehard football fan.

Football shirts distinguish teams and make it easy for fans to show their support and devotion - it's hard to argue with their loyalty when they have their team name emblazoned across their front!

However, most fans already have the current shirt, and more likely than not have the one before that too.... and maybe even the one before that! But what they more than likely do not have is their team's football shirt from years and years ago (and if they have it's more than likely too small in one way or another!!) I'm here to let you know that you can now find football shirts from as far back as the 1950s!!

You can get old-school England team shirts as well as all the different clubs, and they aren't just confined to teams like Liverpool or Manchester United, but include teams like Blackburn Rovers, Hull City, Preston North End and Stoke City. As well as English clubs there are also European club football shirts, for example Barcelona, Inter Milan, PSG and Porto, and national shirts ? Wales, Scotland, Brazil, Ireland, Zaire?. loads and loads of retro shirts to chose from!

I know what you must be thinking ? pretty cool present, that will really be appreciated and will get you lots and lots of 'You're the best girlfriend/mum/dad/aunt/uncle....in the world' feedback! And you'd be right! But I can also hear you thinking: 'there must be a catch somewhere?' NO!!! There is no catch, they are of great quality and they do not cost the earth! So if you want to really make someone's day by making them look like the biggest and longest-time fan of their team then get onto retrofootieshirt website (see below) right now!
