It’s Home! Just add footballs!

The Perfect Interiors Gift for Footballers…

What a time to launch a football-related product.  Great because of the heightened interest – but just another message trying to stand out from the noise!

When I started to develop Mount Footy as a business idea a couple of years ago I had no idea that the week I would launch my new interiors product would see such joy across the country because of ‘football coming home’.

But as the product started to become a reality during 2021, I had actually set July 2022 as my target to launch.  I knew it would coincide with the tournament being held here in England.

So, how better to celebrate the Lionesses’ success than with a Mount Footy to display your footballs – and a photo of the team, your heroine – or even of you and your mates celebrating!

A lot of non-footballing brands are now jumping on the bandwagon as they are at last understanding that a hell of a lot of women love football, whether playing it or watching it.  So that’s great for getting money into the women’s game.

I reckon I can stand tall and say – not only is my new business ‘all about football’ but I also have my own football credentials. I’m an ex-footballer myself, I played for women’s teams in London from 1983 – 2004, when it definitely was not ‘on trend’ and was still seen as unglamourous, eccentric or worse.  Women footballers in that era didn’t care – because we knew the magic of football and the joy and togetherness it brings.

England Lionesses winning the Euros in front of a sell-out 87k crowd at Wembley, is a day I definitely did not dream of, let alone launching my own design product, which celebrates football and all it means to people.
