    Leather Football with Laces

    Who remembers the days when footballs were like this?

    I remember using this type of old style football with laces at a annual Weald of Kent Football Tournament. As Captain of our side one year, I had the privellage of dusting down the leather panels and applying as much dubbin as possible to soften them up for the following days tournament. Trying to soften the laces too on these old school balls in an attempt to save someones eye.

    This was of course all to no avail. The day arrives and its pouring with rain, so after the first match the ball is in its lead balloon state even before we've laced up our boots for our first match.

    Despite these memories, the days when we used these balls was always an hounour and despite our moans and groans at the time, these old style leather footballs with laces, are part or many a players footballing memories.

    For those of you a bit younger, simply ask you Dads and Uncles or maybe your Grandads, i'm sure who will also carry such fond memories.

    This is why it is great that IWOOT now have a supplier for these footballs, what a present for those that graced the football pitches years ago, kicking around the lead balloons. Perhaps you think you have some skill, keeping your latest feather football in the air for what seems like days on end. Well, come on then buy yourself one of these and become a real footballer.
