The shop, owned by one of Derry's most famous ever footballers John 'Jobby' Crossan, is up for sale.
Before opening the business in his home city of Derry, John "Jobby" Crossan was widely considered to be one of Northern Ireland's greatest footballers
He also shared a pitch with George Best, Eusébio and Pelé during a colourful career which began at Derry City. The 86-year-old has now decided that ,after more than 40 years in business, the time is right to pull the shutters on the shop in Pennyburn."I am not 17 or 18 anymore, I'm 86 and I think the time is right now to have a wee bit of a rest," he told The North West Today.
Crossan did not agree, though, and made a counter proposal to Derry City that he would get £5,000 and they would receive £1,000.
