Probably this hat from 2003. My grandpa always had a talent for sourcing the coolest trinkets from all over the world, and this is just one of many he gave me. Not only is it a cool piece of history, it also just looks cool and I can imagine still wearing it today.

Ah that is ace. I have a Ferrari T-shirt from when my dad worked a merch stand for them at Silverstone before I was born that I treasure a lot!

Ford can I ask, does our own sporting past count towards this? I used to compete internationally as a teenager in track and field so have some cool pics from my time doing that, great memories!

Of course! As long as it's a physical item, anything sports related is fair game.

Sports entertainment is still sports right?

In one of the few live wrestling events I was able to go to in the late 90's around 12 -13 I was told by my mother that I could get 1 THING from the merch booth to mark the occasion. With joy in my heart I selected the foam Stone Cold Steve Austin middle finger. My request was soundly denied and I believe I ended up leaving with a Kane mask.

20 plus years later I get a stimulus check from the government due to COVID. Ordered this for 100 CAD.

First thing I did was send a picture to my mom.

To be fair a Kane mask is awesome too!

I'm a big Manchester United fan! I've had family from there and I've always supported them since a boy. I follow them each and every week. I think without a doubt my favourite sports memorabillia would be a bunch of signed cards from the players from over the years.

Woohoo, another United fan! Love love love these - I have such a soft spot for Fabien Barthez, loved the bloke. Louis Saha too. Looking forward to seeing more United-themed bounty submissions!

Thank you so much! So glad you can appreciate these as much as me! You'll have to get yourself some!

I may not have signed sports memorabilia, but I cherish my collection of medals, especially one from participating in a 5km event at the World Championship. While it's not a winner's medal, it holds immense personal value. It symbolizes a significant milestone in my recovery and return to normalcy following leg surgery. This medal is a testament to perseverance and taking a crucial step in my healing journey.

Nice! I'm envious of anyone who can do long distance running. I'm following the Couch 2 5K programme at the moment in the hopes I'll be able to do a 5K by the summer, but I'm finding it quite a slog!

Thanks, the motivation is the key.

What happens if you play Paintball on your 18. Birthday?

Correct, you get recruited as a Tournmentplayer.

Paintball is not that popular as it is in america, but we working on it. I come from the time where you can have as much paint as you want in the Tournment… Means we were these colourfull guys playing on field full of bouncy castle.

I keep the ID Cards and aswell my latest “marker”. Don't be fooled i was playing tippi or snake and if i am on the run nothing stops me. You paint me?= I do a superman there is no paint anymore...

Also i keep my Jerseys for MTB usage :P
