Our client a football-mad entrepreneur has made a remarkable comeback after being made redundant. Tomas Jones, 28, from Ruabon, near Wrexham, turned his passion for the beautiful game into a successful business selling replica football shirts and match-worn shirts. Now his internet-based company, Vintagefootballshirts.com, has scored a global hit and has customers as far afield as America, Australia and Asia.

In all, Tomas has over 5,000 shirts for sale, including one worn by former Italian superstar Roberto Baggio in the 1994 World Cup. His favourite, though, is one that has come full circle – a Barcelona shirt worn by former Wales manager Mark Hughes, who comes from Ruabon. The local legend played at the Nou Camp in the 1980s following his transfer from Manchester United.
