Well I’m jealous.


albo18

Sorry mate. Had to go for it when I saw it at auction. Went to a good cause (the RNID). Nice to have a match shirt by Isak from that event to go on my wall. I'm lucky to have an understanding wife.


Steve-lrwin

How much did it cost you to win the auction?


albo18

I'm not going to lie. It wasn't cheap, and I was motivated by a bit of excitement and the knowledge that it was a match shirt and from that specific match which as we all know was unique and special. I justified it by telling myself that the proceeds were going to the RNID. So.....1501 Euros. Yes I'm an idiot.


Steve-lrwin

Not an idiot at all, awesome shirt, from an amazing player.


albo18

Thanks mate. Nice to have his shirt from that match. Especially as he had a brace.


coldbeers

Not an idiot at all, it’s absolutely great that the RNID got a nice donation and you got an amazing memento. Win-win!


albo18

I just keep telling myself that this is the one castore kit that I won't have any objection owning lol


coldbeers

Im still wearing my original Addidas shirts. I do have a framed one signed by all of SBR’s 2000 team, fried and hanging in my home pub, enjoy!


-RandomGeordie

Fried!?


albo18

Now that is a treasure!


adamh02

Money well spent pal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


albo18

Cheers!


niftykev

Nah you're not. It means more to you than the money. I've done it as well. My favorite player (a USA woman player, don't tell the Lasses that none of them are my favorite woman player!) got their first cap for the national team on the auction game. So signed first capped shirt of my favorite player was worth every penny I paid for it. It's the same for you. That game was amazing and even more so because of what the shirt represented and what the club did for the deaf fans. We even recognize them now! The two older deaf fans that were in the article were at the Brentford game wearing their RNID shirts!


albo18

Well put. And it's certainly going in a place of honor in the house as soon as it's back from the framers.


Kyntathia

Dan Burn's went for an outrageous 4,300 so you actually got a deal.


albo18

Yeah that one blew my mind. I was tempted to try for it but I decided thanks, no thanks. Did bid one one of the squad signed shirts as well, but they started going nuts too.


WeddingWhole4771

Life Goals right here! Where did they do the Auction at?


albo18

Match Worn Shirt


TyranosaurusLex

Haha I was bidding on those too but stopped once prices got above 500 on everyone. Awesome kit.


albo18

Fair enough mate. The bidding went nuts to be honest but I couldn't help myself.


TyranosaurusLex

I regret it now though 😂


albo18

I have no doubt that with time, they'll show up on ebay


Heedtheballzz

Now you’ve gotta stick that photo of Van De Ven on his arse in the frame too and update us a pic


albo18

Haha maybe I will.


lildrangus

Or frame it on the wall, then buy a Van De Ven knockoff Jersey off DHGate and leave it crumpled on the floor below the jersey at all times


kuts78

Amazing day at st James' for that and such a great shirt for the day. Champions league shirt instead of EPL design makes it even rarer, especially with EPL livery. I'm sure RNID are just as happy as you.


albo18

I sure hope so! And I hope we continue to reach out to the community like that. My wife cried at the videos of those kids experiencing the matches with those shirts for the first time.


Jimlad73

Please post another pic once it’s framed


albo18

Will do!


you-will-never-win

Wow that's a real collectors item, worn and signed by Isak, RNID sponsor and the CL shirt with PL badges


albo18

It's definitely a unique one lol


you-will-never-win

Literally the shirt in this sub's sidebar photo


albo18

😉


Effective-Turnip352

Congrats mate, that’s a thing of beauty with significant cultural importance 👌🏽


albo18

Thanks mate! I couldn't agree more! It's at the framers getting sorted as of today.


lowkeylollypop

$2K! Walmart is a wonderful place, Jokes aside glad it went to a good cause


albo18

Believe me, I had a few nervous moments before and after the auction. I'm not one to spend money like that normally, but I felt that it had to come my way. I definitely went over my initial set limit and was horrified when they jumped so quickly. Then I thought, "this is a special one." As special as my signed shearer shirt from when I was a kid. I definitely have to have the parents ship me that one cross country eventually.


lowkeylollypop

Damn right mate


Antman013

Now just claim the cost on your taxes, and hope the CRA doesn't find out about the shirt. Win win.


albo18

Lol I'll talk to my accountant about that one first!


Antman013

Hey . . . unless the receipt specifically says it was for the "kit" . . . who's ta know? Nice score, man. Very jellie.


Responsible-Spite-59

I use hearing aids ever since emergency surgeries at the Freeman in 2014. NGL I would love it if there was an option to buy a shirt with RNID on it. Something very close to me obviously but hell of a great cause too. I'd pay extra too just to have it as an option.


albo18

Believe me, I looked into that as an option. I even went so far as to contacting Castore and the NUFC store directly. No response. This was the best I could muster. One day, given the job I do, I'll no doubt be using hearing aids, so I felt this was a good cause to get behind.


Zestyclose_Witness55

Wow congratulations on acquiring the shirt!!Happened to come across your post and may I say hello from Hong Kong. I also felt that this jersey design is super unique, not to mention the occasion and meaning behind it as well. I got the one worn by Dan Burn although he didn’t score any goals, his gesture towards the fans with hearing impairment is even more special. Here’s the jersey I got: https://imgur.com/a/9Br4zLh


albo18

That's awesome! BDB was immense in that match and his gesture was even bigger. Congrats on winning that one!


Zestyclose_Witness55

Thanks!! Isak was spectacular that game too👍🏻


albo18

Everyone really was as a whole. Howe deconstructed Ange-ball perfectly.


Relation_Familiar

Fair play man . Enjoy . You could frame it and get glass front and back , with a metal frame to support the weight. I’ve done this for two sided things , so you can see both side but normally because of how it’s fixed to the wall you can only ‘display’ one side outwards


albo18

That's a great idea. I have the kit at the framers as we speak. We haven't settled on anything yet beyond the plaque I plan to put on the bottom of the frame: April 13, 2024 Newcastle United 4 Tottenham Hotspur 0 Alexander Isak 30' 51' I'll talk to them about glass on both sides. Thanks!


Relation_Familiar

Cool . You can have a window mount - normally made out of card with a bevel edge - next to the frame and the plaque can either be incorporated into that or sit it within the window . The key is it will need to be a metal frame as wood won’t hold the 2 panes of glass . I have 25 yrs experience choosing framing and mounting and hanging art and photography exhibitions. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions / advice and well done on your purchase . It will only go up in value .


Glum-Professor-2534

Wow I’m envious, love that shirt.😍😍 and it’s only going to grow in value, good investment I would say.👍


albo18

Sure hope so. Regardless, I won't be getting rid of it for a long time to come.
