Soccer Scene

So would have loved to review this store based on the reviews below and recommendations of my friends in London. Unfortunately my experience has more to do with the fact that I couldn’t experience this store than anything else. I had a very small window of time in between the store opening (or so I thought) and my flight back to the US. The website said they opened at 9 and I got there 10 min prior, was planning on running in and grabbing the 3 things my young kids were so excited about, and then heading off to Heathrow in time for my flight. The timing was perfect, except… I waited outside the store for over 30 min with the employee staring at me from the back as he did inventory, and me trying to raise his attention to come to the door. They wouldn’t answer the phone either, and I at first figured maybe they were running a few minutes behind before they opened. As those minutes passed and it crept past 9:20 and I missed my window to head anywhere else, another employee showed up outside and informed me they opened at 10. I showed him his website stating 9, explained my situation, and asked if I could just buy the 3 quick things I needed for my kids and I needed to hustle. He was standoffish, couldn’t have cared less about my situation, apologized in passing for the website and told me I’d have to head somewhere else. Needless to say I was furious, and had to head home empty handed to two disappointed kids. When I reached out to their customer service department after returning home all I got was a «we’ll look into it and thanks for bringing it to our attention» response, which is fine but didn’t address my customer sat issue in the least. In an era where the customer should come first, I wouldn’t trust my business to someone that doesn’t care about my experience.

The thing I like about Soccer Scene is that you can find lots of jerseys from leagues beyond these shores. In spite of every one saying England has gone football mad, it’s more fitting to say that it has gone Premiership mad. You never actually hear about results or see live games from other European leagues which often have better technical play and some stunning goals. ANYWAYS, Soccer Scene is the place to pick up that Hamburg, Napoli, OM or Santander shirt you’ve always wanted. Even if you haven’t wanted one of these, it’s just a good place to poke around and wonder at the amount of football ‘stuff’. A section I always check out is the retro bit with pre-​1980s Toffs kits done out in 100% cotton. They make a change from the synthetic fibres used in most other kits and will actually be appreciated by non-​football people too.

If you’re a fan of football and watch the English Premier League, Soccer Scene holds every piece of of memorabilia you’ve ever wanted. You can almost hear the crowd chanting as you recognise the various team kits The most current replica kits for the biggest teams range in price up to about £45, with older kits topping off at around £27. Annoying Manchester United fan in your face? Buy a Liverpool pacifier to stick in their mouth for £. Just make sure you save a little cash for your trip to St George’s Hospital.
Is your favourite team shirt not enough? Soccer Scene personalises the names and numbers on the back of the shirts. Other products include bags, clocks, figurines and scarves. This shop is Christmas/​birthday present heaven if you know a soccer fan. What I like best about this shop is that they are truly there for the sport of soccer as well, evident in their shoe section where you can pick up the latest Nike soccer shoes amongst other with the studs of your choice.

A small sports store that gets dwarfed by the giant nike/​adidas kind of stores near by, but the staff are very quick, friendly and helpful and it’s great for all the footbal kits.

This is brilliant store for all your footy needs! They have all the seasons kits (home and away) and are usually well stocked when everywhere else is sold out! and as for sizes they do juniors, womans and obviously mens! in all sizes. They also do good training kits as well as little collectables for each club team (well the most popular ones!) ive spent most of my time looking at liverpool teddys, mugs, flags even books! the junior sizes come good for smaller women (i buy them!). You can get whatever you like printed here on the back of your kits as they have their own printing machine! Its a really great place and i really love it!
