Something for a football fan?

Never had to buy a gift for one, but have to this year 'cos I don't want him to feel left out. He is a lovely guy, but want to keep the cost low as possible. Everything I see and think "ooohh, that'd be nice" costs £20 or over :(

Any tips of bargain football offers? I am almost sure it is Liverpool that he supports.

TIA
I can say whatever I like here ... 'cos no one can see me .. ner ner ner ner ner !!!....

How do you know I ain't sitting here butt naked?!?!

I thunk I've made you think for a minute!

    If it is Liverpool he supports and he's near enough why not pay for a tour of the ground and museum for £9.

    Sunderland sells all sorts of bits and bobs.

    As well as replica tops you can get leisure wear like polo tops, socks, underpants etc., with the club badge on. Household things like beer glasses, clocks, pictures. Personal things like wallets and keyrings. Stationary - pens, pencils, rulers. I'm sure Liverpool will sell a similar range of things which may be of use.
    Here I go again on my own....
  • I've ordered this calender for my footie mad BIL - it arrived today and looks really good.

    Will have a look in sports shops for a football, don't really wanna spend over £10 (which it is after P&P on the liverpool site).

    Love the calendar idea .... ;)

    Edit: anyone know which sports shop have the best prices for footballs? TIA :D

    I second that. Have bought one for football-mad uncle. I'm really pleased with it too.
