Made from ceramic with a platinum glaze, the replica was crafted by Portmeirion Pottery.

Auctioneer Richard Winterton said:

> “The replica was uncanny – undoubtedly a real goal for any football fan.  
>  
> “We had a huge amount of interest and its appeal to collectors is furthered still as no-one can really be sure how many of these reproductions are in existence.  
>  
> “This particular replica is numbered 19 of 500 but it’s actually estimated that fewer than 200 were produced before the project was dropped in 1980.”
