A reminder of footballers from a bygone age. Players were on the same financial footing as the average working man. Some players went quickly from idols to obscurity. A distressed clock represents the retirement present. Left only with his memories, the player can only dream of the glory days...medals and mementoes have to be auctioned off to pay for knee replacements and care.
