The No1 Fan Unleashed!

It’s an often overused phrase, ‘Number One Fan’. Like ‘He’s A Legend’ and, ‘Of course I do, darling’.

But these pretty things have really caught our eye. The Number One Fan is a wonderfully ridiculous, all singing, all gyrating, club celebrating, carnival of footballing fun.

Those of you who frequent your Club shops will be aware of the team dolls, but today is the launch of the England one. The manufacturers do assure us that it is save to leave them at home with your girlfriend, by the way.

I’ve three of these beauties to give away and to be in it and possibly even win it – the first three to email me at: escapini@footballtransfertavern.com with the correct answer to the following question win one of ’em! Q: How much do these babies retail at?

Remember, in the softly spoken words of Tony The Tiger – They’re Grrrrrreat!

And good luck!
