LUCAS MERCHANDISE

As you would expect of any top quality player, Lucas' success has led to others trying to get a piece of the action and use his good name to sell their products. Here's a brief look at some of the stuff that Lucas has been used to advertise, or has had his mug put on...

This rather fetching fridge magnet (complete with Leeds United badge) shows Lucas in his 'walking while gazing to see if there's any danger' posture. I have a feeling the magnet's stopped working. Mind you, I have had it a while.

OK, so, strictly speaking, most players get a Merlin sticker with them on, but how many get one of the special silver ones, eh? Eh?! Lucas does, 'cause he's the world best defender.

This postcard came as part of a set of 20, with the squad from '98/'99 on 'em. Is it sad of me to admit that I only bought the collection because I saw Lucas in there?...

A slightly old photo of Lucas Radebe - available at the knock-down price of 10p...

A more recent photo of The Chief. And you thought he posed dodgy in the black-and-white calendar pic...

Taken from the 2000 release of Leeds United Football Cards, these efforts from Futera aim to emphasise the importance of attitude in all aspects of life. Or the peeps who write the blurb on the cards just got bored and started borrowing ideas from the 'Book of Corn' (3rd edition)...

A mini CD-ROM with all sorts of crap, erm stuff on it about The Chief. Includes interviews, video footage and other crap, erm stuff.

Yes, I'm aware there is pitifully little in here other than cards and similar stuff. So why don't you send me your Lucas Radebe merchandise? (Heheh.) Failing that, any pics of said merchandise would be gratefully accepted. And I'll even put yer name next to it. Then you can live out those fantasies of 'being' on the Internet...
