Cammy Devlin admits he doesn’t know exactly where Lionel Messi’s shirt from his 1000th game shirt actually is.
The Hearts midfielder didn’t play a minute for Australia during the World Cup, but left with arguably the best thing aside from a winner’s medal after be bagged the Argentine superstar’s strip from his 100th competitive game which saw Los Albiceleste beat the Socceroos 2-1 in the round of 16 in Qatar.
Devlin chanced his arm in the tunnel after realising none of his teammates had beaten him to a shirt swap, and left with a piece of footballing history. After Messi went on to cement his legacy as the greatest player of all time by leading Lionel Scaloni’s side to World Cup glory, it will likely be worth a fair bit of money further down the line. Not that Devlin is ever likely to sell it. Even if he wanted to, he can’t after giving him to his family Down Under. They’ve subsequently deposited it in a bank but haven’t told him which one.
