What sort of price range are you thinking? This training ball looks good training ball

BikeRunSki · 09/12/2019 21:18

Price ?
Does he play, support or both?

Goalie gloves.

About 20/30 at most. Already got similar to training ball and goalie gloves previous years, which is probably why I’m stuck. I think he plays in defence.

Ds (13) still loves a football annual - if you know what team he supports you can get team specific ones. Or maybe a t shirt for his team (not a strip obviously as they are ££££££)

Does he play Fifa on ps or Xbox? ds would LOVE Fifa points.

The football annual might work as a starting point. Thanks- doesn’t play fifa or that would be brilliant ( and a lot easier)

Football Monopoly (the board game) was a massive hit in our house!

The monopoly seems to be over my price range... any other suggestions please?

What about a mini fusball table? 19.99 in smyths

PhilomenaChristmasPie · 10/12/2019 12:59

Shirt for his team?

Thanks will have a look for a team shirt but didn’t think that was in the price range. I don’t think he’d be into fusball somehow or that would have been ideal. Not easy!

Team training shirts are usually considerably cheaper than the match kits.

Ds has this every year.

Vintage football? A bit different. My DS has one a couple of years ago, he and his mates played with it a lot until they booted it over the local building site and never saw it again

Boot buddy , my ds has had his a few years now. Great present for a footballer

Chinainmyhand · 10/12/2019 20:38

Football socks, I know that's sounds boring but if he plays a lot he will always be needing them and the more expensive pairs are more comfortable. For training it won't matter what colour but if you find his team's colors it's a bonus
