Lost Footballs III - The Search for More Footballs

The third instalment of my Lost Footballs blogging project. See the original post and the redux post for more sad footballs!

This was a recent find on a street near me.


On a social media reminder, I saw a picture I'd posted in 2023. I didn't include it in my Redux post, so, a few years on, this lost football finally makes it onto my blog.


I spotted this lonely ball stuck behind a high fence at the GP surgery next to the Cardiff Draconians' pitch. I expect it was a misplaced shot from training. 


And there was a lost football skulking under a station platform in Eastbrook (Dinas Powys) as well. (Reminding me of the clown from It.)




There's a possibility this ball lurking in the bushes of Grange Gardens is related to the one that was stuck in a tree in a previous instalment of this blog series.



This football had a happy ending. I went and fished it out so I could pass it on to my nephews for backyard footie.

This ownerless football was just sitting ready for a game in Llantwit Major.


A real gathering of ownerless balls on the banks of the Taff. It feels like there is a story behind this!



This flyaway had flown away into a puddle in Grange Gardens. 


This photo project has turned into a collaborative piece of work now. Cathy saw this ball stuck on the outside of the St David's 2 shopping centre and took a pic to show me.


And here's an interloper. A lost basketball on the track at Penarth station.


With spring now established and summer on its way, I'm going to be keeping my out for more lost footballs.
