This image shows the brilliant Lionel Messi after scoring for Argentina against Venezuela in the World Cup qualifier at the River Plate stadium, Buenos Aires on March 28, 2009.

The photo is one of a limited number of only 35 that were personally hand signed by the Argentinian sensation in Barcelona on April 29, 2009 in a signing session organised and carried out by Icons.

Messi is currently regarded as the best footballer in the world, and  is expected to be the biggest star of the 2010 World Cup. He has been bestowed the honour of wearing the famous number 10 shirt, as worn by his hero Diego Maradona, and many expect him to equal if not eclipse Maradona's achievements for the Albiceleste.

The print is 16 inches by 12 inches and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity which features an image of Leo signing the photo.

 

Framing your photograph is an excellent way to protect and enhance your investment - and it will look great on your wall. We offer a high quality service in partnership with a specialist framing company and a choice of three frame colours - silver, gold and black.

Photographs are framed to the highest standard in the same style as in the example shown, with a commemorative plaque.

We aim to have your product framed and dispatched within seven working days of your order, but at busy times it can take longer, so please allow 21 days. Please call or email customer services if you need delivery by a specific date.

If you choose to order the shirt unframed you will receive it in our exclusive and stylish black presentation packaging.

The packaging has been specifically designed to the highest standard to protect your shirt, and is perfect if you are sending or giving the shirt as a gift.

Inside the packaging you will find your Icons Certificate of Authenticity and an insert that displays details of the signing session with the player.

Our Certificates of Authenticity provide added peace of mind, displaying all the details of the signing session. The certificate displays the date of the signing, the location of the signing, and where available an image of the player signing.

On top of this our full company details are displayed and the certificate will be signed by a member of the Icons Management team.

The certificate will act as our 100% guarantee.
