I collect new and old watches I have about 250 apx. Usually I change watches 2 to three times a day. I used to wear a regular watchs when I was not going any where. But now my knock around watches are Rado's or Fortis. I am old school old guy when I go out I still wear cuff links good watches and expensive suits. I meet some soon to be new family members. My kids can't seem to stay married. So we lose some old family and get new ones I have been married to the same women for almost 44 years. Any way my oldest introduced us to his soon to be married girl friends mother and brother. We had dinner over his house. Her brother is a nice kid and has helped my son and his sister to make a bed room a beautiful baby's room for my new grand daughter expecting her at the end of March. He happens to be Russian he noticed my watch I had on. I told him that was one of the watches Yuri Gagarin wore when he went into space. Then he really kept looking at it. At the end of the night I said goodbye to him and took off my watch and gave it to him. He is now my new best friend .

I collect soccer boobleheads for all outdoor soccer leagues in the US.

I also collect personally obtained autographs of players and random soccer collectibles. (Fore example, the nesting dolls for the 91ers and stuff like that.)
I just noticed this you said you had Franz's book Soccer Power. I have it in German when it first came out. I have it in English misplaced it. Then I found it on Amazon. The book is very out dated. But it is a great read on how the game was played tacticly in the early 80s. It is a great book. If your interested in our game.

Got a wee bit of 1986 World Cup memorabilia mostly NZ stuff as it was our first and only for quite some time!
Scarfs. When ever i go abroad i try to get few of them. I prefer the bit obscure ones and smaller teams if possible. I also usually buy some random football related memoribilia like a nice t-shirt or a coffee cup or something of that nature as a memory of the trip. If i go to a game while abroad i save the ticket and the match day programme. I also collect football books (and books in general).
