You know which team he supports - his desk is full of tat, fixtures lists, mugs etc. So what else do you get that would enrich his life? Let's see what you can get for your money...
Manchester City:
You know the one. Always claims his Dad was from Manchester. Liked Oasis. Hated United in the 90s. Was a real fan, before the money. But test him with this... If he can appreciate the gift by it's title, he may be genuine after all, for of course not too long ago, Citeh were in League One, and needed a play-off final winner from Paul Dickov to get promoted.

Chelsea:
On a similar note, Chelsea were founded in 2003, and have fought adversity to claim three league titles and numerous other trinkets. The greatest thing since sliced bread. Speaking of which, you can produce your own slice of bread which is about as effective as another waste of money with a Chelsea badge on it. (Hello Fernando)

Arsenal:
In October 2011, NC reader John Sills wrote an article for El Triumvirate about the conundrum of Theo Walcott, but surely even John can now realise that Walcott is in fact an author in a footballer's body, and his book should prove it. Kean of the Rovers stuff.

Manchester United:
If I say that this item is a Champions League Lanyard Ticket Holder, and also that it is currently reduced by 15%, that just about brings it under budget. Perfect for those Thursday nights in front of the telly.
Coming soon, Europa League version
