When it comes to the world of football, talk to any avid supporter and they will tell you anything and everything there is to know about their beloved football team. It’s not just the wearing of the football shirt or scarf, it goes much deeper than that. Loyal supporters will back their team every step of the way, win or lose. Their passion and enthusiasm goes way beyond the electrifying buzz of the football stadium, with debates and banter occurring in pubs and clubs, supporters are now showing their dedication in other ways. As the emerging trend of football themed plates becomes apparent, fans are eager to get their hands on a plate that shows the true colours of their football team.
Thousands of combinations are available for football teams up and down the country, also abbreviated initials of their favourite players.
RICH AND FAMOUS
Normally footballers try to disguise their identity when out and about, but when it comes to their elite cars, they like to put their stamp on it.
Like David Beckham when he was playing for Manchester United as midfielder and was living here in the UK, he owned several private plates, including DB 7 which was proudly displayed on his Aston Martin DB 7 – coincidently this was also his initials and shirt number.
When Christiano Ronaldo replaced Beckham, he too liked his flashy cars. Russell Baldwin was the owner of CR 7 and put this plate on an old Ford Escort car and then purposely parked or drove his car where he hoped would be spotted by the man himself. Sure enough, the plan worked and Ronaldo ended up paying a massive £150k back in 2009 (trebling its original price) which was a huge amount considering he no longer lived in the UK.
