Man turns football boot hobby into dream job - supplying Europe's top players
- last month
A man turned his love of customising football boot into his full-time job - and now works with Europe's top players including Thiago and Rüdiger.
Ryan Park, 32, rediscovered the hobby during lockdowns having enjoyed renovating football boots in his early 20s.
The investment banker would buy old pairs of boots on eBay then refurbish and share his transformations on his Instagram page Boots N Pieces.
By the end of 2020, Hibernian team captain and Scottish national team member, Paul Hanlon had reached out to Ryan with a customisation request of his own.
