What horrors do you have lying in the attic or sitting on the mantlepiece? Keep them coming and please send us a picture. E-mail sport@timesonline.co.uk
Barca Cigarettes: I thought you might appreciate the humorous irony of one of the greatest football clubs in the world, teeming with some of the fittest and most skilful athletes the game has known, splashing their name all over a lung busting packet of death!!!! Alexander Cave
Leeds potty: I’m afraid I haven’t a picture of the item in question, but only a few seasons ago Leeds United were selling a child’s toilet training aid emblazoned with the words “I’m potty about Leeds”. I’m not sure, but think this was before the club went down the pan. Richard Batty

Reyes teapot: From a posh shop in Islington last summer; after he left Arsenal.
Also note price - £69.95. Paul Cleary (Almost as overpriced as the player himself - Ed.)
