Great Sporting Trophies

I had planned to include the soccer world cup as my No 1 but when I googled it, I realised up close it looks pretty shit.

So I’ve included the Stanley Cup instead.

:clap: The Stanley Cup and the old Bob O Keeffe were the first two to come to mind. The Stanley Cup must weigh fuck all though :strokechin:

The Copa Libertadores must surely have the largest base of any major trophy.

Look at it there. It’s huge.

The Stanley Cup is mainly base. A full Bob O’Keeffe would get a whole town drunk.
