Dara O'Briain 'marvels' at National Football Museum displays
Ever popular Mock the Week presenter Dara O'Briain dropped in at the National Football Museum earlier in the year and in a recent article in the Guardian used the following words to describe his visit:
"Preston football club's ground, Deepdale, is home to the National Football Museum, where I once spent a large chunk of an afternoon marvelling at the sheer brass neck of whoever had collected the memorabilia inside. The depth of exhibits is quite astonishing and 95% of them could be prefixed with the words 'the actual'. There are the actual balls from the 1930 and 1966 World Cup finals, the actual replacement Jules Rimet trophy (after the original was stolen) and, most impressively, the actual jersey worn by Diego Maradona in the 1986 'Hand of God' match."
