Amuseables Sports Soccer Ball is a born crowd-pleaser. Raised on Saturday league matches in Preston Park, he’s happiest with muddy boots, socks pulled high, and a chorus of cheers (or groans) in the air.

Now a proud Brighton Seagulls alum, he’s never let fame go to his panels. Always first to organize a kickabout, last to leave the chip shop after.

He’s met his American cousin once – Amuseables Sports Football – and they spent a full hour arguing about whether gloves were necessary. (He says no. Proudly!)
