A football superfan living in Thailand showed off his huge collection of more than 1,000 football jerseys and memorabilia.

Lawyer Wasan Jumpanot has been gathering the collectables for almost three decades, inspiring him to open his own sportswear shop in Nonthaburi province, Thailand.

Among his most-prized items are match-worn shirts from players like John Heitinga and Andy Hinchcliffe, and autographed shirts, including one from Ronaldinho Gaucho.

Wasan said: 'I'm just a guy who loves football. I've followed football since I was a child. Around 30 to 40 years ago, there weren't many channels in Thailand to watch the games like there are today.

'Football consumption during those times was all about passion. You had to watch it live and there weren't many available tickets, or read the newspaper and use your imagination, or look at pictures in books.

'I had a dream that I wanted to have jerseys like those that professional footballers wear. So I started buying and collecting football shirts of Thai teams. I started with Thai teams before collecting foreign team jerseys.'

Wasan said he still buys jerseys in his spare time, sourcing them from sites like eBay or fellow collectors on social media.

He added: 'The Thai market for football memorabilia is growing. Thanks to a close-knit community of collectors, football shirts have become a fashionable item, easily mixed and matched for casual outings or photoshoots.'
