This Sealand jersey is also extremely special because it will probably be the only one in the collection gifted to me by... a real live monarch! Having sent a message inviting Sealand to be part of the adventure through the official Sealand website, Michael Bates, the Prince Regent of Sealand himself, got in contact with me complimenting the blog and offering me a shirt for the collection (don't go pestering him now, he probably won't thank me for it). It was an exceptionally kind gesture and one which I was delighted to accept. Prince Michael, I thank you and I hope that Sealand goes from strength to strength in the footballing world and continues to stick two fingers up at international authorites everywhere!
