00:00With the summer weather having visited and soon to leave, I decided that it was high
00:04time that I spend a bit of time looking around Manchester, trying to find places that families
00:08can go when the weather maybe isn't as good as it's been this week.
00:12As soon as you walk into the museum, you're met by some silverware, so immediately it's
00:15my kind of place.
00:16We're not allowed to touch the trophies anymore because people used to drop them.
00:19I'm looking at you Manchester City.
00:21There's also George Best's mini, a jacket from Manuel Pellegrini and the exhibition
00:25that brought us here today.
00:26This brand behind me is far and away the best in terms of football shirts.
00:30I mean, I support one of the teams that they looked after.
00:33I won't reveal which, you'll never get that out of me.
00:35And here at the National Football Museum, they've got a little gallery with some of
00:39their best ever kits.
00:40You've got some of the classics, like this Leicester City 1985-86 kit, a lovely little
00:46blue number.
00:47And then you jump right up to 2020 to this brilliant Queen's Park kit.
00:54They add some of the actual kits that they've done quite recently, as well as some of the
00:58original artist's drawings.
01:00So on the floor that I'm on currently, you've got things like this, meaningful shirts from
01:04football's history.
01:05So here we've got UEFA Champions League earn it kits, which were worn by Leeds players
01:10against Liverpool just after the Super League was announced.
01:12A Black Lives Matter jersey as well.
01:15The first floor is a gallery where they've got a bunch of random memorabilia, including
01:18stuff like Pringles cans from Euro 2000, Vuvuzelas from South Africa 2010.
01:24And then I went up to go to the activities floor.
01:27So this is just one of the many activities you can do, it's three quid for three penalties
01:30and you take them up against this big wall, it gives you a score and there's a leaderboard
01:34apparently.
01:35So I'm going to have to try pretty hard, I think.
01:41So after getting beaten by a bunch of kids at a penalty shootout and realising that maybe
01:44football wasn't for me anymore, I went up to the top floor where you've got these really
01:48cool sort of avant-garde art exhibitions to do with football and the city.
01:52I made a little note there that I hung up, as you do, but I really can't recommend the
01:56National Football Museum enough.
01:58Give it a go and follow Manchester Will for more.
