How far would you go to prove your loyalty to your beloved footy team? Shelling out on an expensive season ticket? Home and away kits? How about a club-embossed windscreen scraper?
From garden gnomes to pink gin, it's surprising the lengths that football clubs will go to to get people spending money in their stores. Be they Premier League or non-league, they all get creative when coming up with accessories and club memorabilia.
And it seems that Greater Manchester is not being left behind when it comes to slightly-ridiculous football merchandise.
From pie tattoos to pet pyjamas, fans in the region will go to great lengths to show support for their team. And nothing says you love your local football club like spending £20 on a pair of plastic walkie talkies.
Following a trawl through the club shops of Greater Manchester, the Manchester Evening News has complied some of the more ridiculous merchandise you can get your hands on.
