The foosball table for footballers
14 May 2013

Remember your first game on a foosball table? Ours was at the local youth centre - two of the red defenders were missing and the ball would get stuck after after the third goal.

This gorgeous Teckell Cristallino Gold Foosball table takes the humble pub sport to entirely new territory. Crafted by hand in Italy, you won't want to flip the crystal glass case in a rage when your mate pummels you 10-0 - though you probably won't be able to lift it, given its chrome plated handles and gold accessories.

According to the designers, "Each component has its own pedigree, resulting in unique individual masterpieces. With its pure elegance and diamond like transparency, Teckell will fulfil your desire for the extraordinary". We just want one in our games room (if we had a games room).

Only 50 are to be built, each engraved with their own identity number. Sold on its exclusivity, the table will set you back a net-busting £17,000 - or what Ronaldo makes in approximately the same time it took you to read this.

You can pick yours up here.
