FABERGE EGGS CREATED TO HONOR TWO SOCCER PLAYERS UP FOR AUCTION!!!
By EDITORIAL STAFF
American football players get jeweled rings and shiny trophies
but European football players get Faberge eggs.
Or at least some of them do. Two Faberge eggs
created to honor two soccer players, Celtic
legend Jimmy Johnstone and
Manchester United’s George Best are being
auctioned off by McTears’ Auctioneers in Glasgow, Scotland. The
enameled eggs are decorated with silver and gold and open to
reveal a small silver and gold figure of each of the players
inside.
The eggs were created by Sarah Faberge, the great grandaughter of
Russian Imperial Jeweler Carl Faberge and go up for sale on March
1. The egg shown at right is Best’s egg which shows the European
Cup medal and the football League Champion’s badge. The sides of
the Egg are decorated with the official crest used by Manchester
United in 1968 and, from the same year, the Northern Ireland
official crest.
