Weird Junks From The Club Store

As I'm on a huge Gomorra kick, I've been checking out all things Naples/Napoli/Napoles.

Along the way, I found these in the club store.







So,

Any other weird shit?

You used to me able to buy a condom shaped like a billy goat. Unfortunately this was before the internet and I'm yet to find a picture.

I think Shrewsbury Town's shop is still full of reduced price meerkats saying Shrewsbury Town on them. There was apparently a meerkat craze.

I can check next time I'm up there if you want one.

Those Benitez dolls would do brisk business in Merseyside and Newcastle. Money to be made.

I'm happy to know that others bought Mask Hoolahan.

What IS that thing in the middle? A lamp?

I quite like the little Fiat 500 driving past it.

My abiding memory of Naples in '87 is how all the street corner shrines to the virgin Mary had been transformed into shrines to Maradona, rather than the Madonna. And it was the home-madeness of peoples' flags and banners and even stuff that was selling on the street.

I bought a t-shirt and a slice of pizza, at the same time, from a kid walking past our B & B. The blue of the t-shirt was too pale, Maradona's face not quite right, but I loved it and wore it to death.

So: authentic Napoli souvenirs have to be a) sold in the street b) illegal copies and c) knocked up overnight in the back room of a pizzeria.

(See also my Napoli wallet, which I bought at a souvenir stall in Pisa, and which got stolen in Toulouse just before France 98).

I would disagree this is a calamity. I once paid 4 Euros for a picture from a kindergartener in the neighborhood.

Poor Maurice Edu. As if playing in Philly isn't bad enough...

You have a lumpy Lego head:

You need an Edu Exorcist:

And you have flipper hands with Humpty Hump's nose:

Such is the ubiquity of the black market in Naples (still) the club barely bothered running a club shop when I was there a few years ago. All sorts of unofficial knocked up tat openly for sale outside though.
