Released in 1979 but designed especially for the 1982 World Cup, the Copa Mundial has become the best-selling football boot of all time. The Copa Mundial is synonymous with comfort, speed and versatility. Built on its legendary comfortable last, and using the world’s softest kangaroo leather, the Copa Mundial provides a smooth ride and unrelenting quickness on any type of pitch

I've got a pair of these and the screw in world cup versions. They've remained unchanged for 4 years longer than I have been born for and are pretty much the only boots not to have changed for more than a couple of years. They just work, end of story!

Tonker, I never would have expected such a thing...

Smarties.

I used to wear Puma Kings all the time, great boots but I think World Cups have the edge, shame mine have just split though

Now Heinz Ketchup - that's a different matter.

TAG F1 Chronograph.

I’d always wanted a TAG chrono of some sort, and my dad bought one for me second-hand when I was admitted to the role.

Funny others rave about Rolex’s and Breitling’s but, although I’d never turn a free one down, they haven’t really done it for me.

A George Daniels on the other hand…

I thought that this might have been a thread about some miracle cream that promised it would bring you everlasting youthful looks.
