Roma’s 1983-84 home strip remains one of the most iconic in the Italian club’s long history.

The various stadium options don’t come cheap, mind – but quality rarely does.

Be the barely-veiled envy of your mates with your very own football dugout, as nothing says, “I love the beautiful game more than you” like 5mm of shatterproof perspex over a heavy-duty aluminium frame, sitting on the lawn. Eight seats allow you to have a load of pals over for a BBQ, hosted purely to show off your dugout and see them question their own pitiful lives. Is that rain, FFT feels? Not a problem, everyone in…
