Icons met Gareth Bale for the third time in three years this week in Cardiff whilst he was on international duty with Wales.
Icons were given a hospitable welcome by the Welsh FA before meeting with an equally friendly Gareth. Bale signed a collection of Real Madrid, Spurs and Wales shirts for Icons, as well as his latest Adidas boot. Being the first signing Gareth has done since helping Madrid to their La Decima, Icons have a collection of special itemscelebrating his UEFA Champions league final winning goal against Atletico Madrid.
Icons have been signing with Gareth since 2011, as part of our “Stars of the Future” programme. Now Gareth is the world’s most expensive player having signed to Madrid for a cool Euros 100 million, but he’s still the same, down to earth man he was we when we first met him.
Icons are delighted to announce World Cup golden boot winner James Rodriguez as the latest Icon. We saw the Real Madrid star for the first time in Madrid on Friday, October 17th.
James enters the room with his trademark grin; it’s the sign of a man who’s happy in life. And so he should be, having taken Colombia to the World Cup Quarter Finals (their best ever finish) and scoring the goal of the tournament along the way, he soon earned himself a move from Monaco to Real Madrid for a record breaking 80 million euros.
James is friendly, agreeable and easy to get on with. The Colombian star even asks to keep a few of the World Cup Golden Boot montages for his own collection!
Icons’ new James collection features signed Real Madrid products, official UEFA Champions League signed items and special FIFA World Cup Colombian products. James signed the 2014-15 Real Madrid home shirt, the Real Madrid limited edition black away shirt and a single Colombia World Cup 2014 shirt as there are so few left in the world. Also available are James’ current Adidas boots and the 2014-15 UEFA Champions League football. Finally, James signed a selection of photos of his most recent career highlights and an officially licensed FIFA World Cup poster, framed only, detailing his golden boot.

And just so you know his name is always pronounced “Hamez”, he’s no plain James!
Icons first met Leo Messi on May 5th, 2006. Although Messi had made less than 30 appearances for club and country, Icons were convinced of his potential and made the signing happen.
Today, eight years later, Messi is the biggest name in world football and has a glittering trophy cabinet to prove it. To date Messi has won six La Liga titles, three UEFA Champions League titles, two FIFA Club World Cup titles and four consecutive Ballon D’Or awards to name just a few.
Despite all this, Messi claims “off the pitch I am just normal”. And he’s right. Humble, unassuming and polite, he is a pleasure to work with. On the pitch, however, he is unlike any footballer the world has ever seen.
On Friday 26th September, 2014 Icons saw Leo Messi yet again to sign a range of shirts, boots and photos for us and his fans. Icons have also been working around the clock to launch the new Official Messi Signed Merchandise range.
All Official Messi Signed Merchandise is created under license by Icons Shop Ltd and now comes with an Official Messi Signed Merchandise Certificate of Authenticity, which has an image of Leo signing the product line.
The full range is only available on Icons.com.
