About this blog

This is a blog all about football memorabilia and in particular my collection of football shirts I have collected over the years (over 20 years now, yikes!).

As the title suggests I'd probably be better spending my time more productively but I hope you enjoy!

I am always interested in featuring all types of football shirts and memorabilia so if you want to get in contact you can drop me an email at waywardeffort@gmail.com
