I notice Man U bought two of Nobby Stiles' medals yesterday for a combined total of £237,600.
It struck me as an example of what's wrong with football. One club can pay more for a couple of bits of scrap metal to put in its musuem than clubs in our league can pay for a striker who will get the goals to win promotion !

Agreed.
Just like cricket football has sold its soul.0 -
Might have been 'nice' if Mr Rooney had bought them with the small change from his back pocket - about 2 weeks' wages for him!!0

According to the Sun, Man U outbid a joint offer from Rio Ferdinand, Gerrard, Fat Frank Lumplard and housewives favourite, John Terry of £150,000 - different world isn't it.0

I was actually encouraged that they recognised their value/interest to the public and their place in our national games history and bought the things, rather than they sat by and wacthed them end up in a vault somewhere never to be seen. Apparently Nobby lives in quite modest circumstances and wanted something to leave to his children so hopefully a win-win situation. Only 3 players left with theirs now.
Take your point about the comparison though.0 -
I suppose Nobby's medals are likely to hold their value. Izale McLeod's value seems to have gone down rather quickly.0

Jesus, we can't even afford two of Nobby's Nuts at the moment.0
