Only an exhibition?


Thursday 09 October 08

a glass cabinet containing four large silver trophies and several football shirtsAll four European trophies - UEFA European Championship (EURO) trophy, UEFA Champions League trophy, the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

Yesterday saw the official launch of our UEFA exhibition - Only A Game? at World Museum Liverpool. Focusing on the pride, passion, cups and culture of European football it's bound to be a hit in such a footie mad city. Ex-Liverpool player, Phil Thompson, was there to do the honours.

Only A Game isn't all Everton and Liverpool, although there's plenty from both clubs. There's lots for every fan of the game including all four European trophies (shown here) which are rarely displayed together. They're not all on show for the duration of the exhibition (dates are here) so if you want to see all four you'd best get down to the exhibition pretty soon. It opens to the public this Saturday (11th).
