The day Queen Elizabeth II asked for the shirt that Jared Borgetti wears

The world has been shocked after the departure of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Despite her political and public facet, she was also a soccer fan. In fact, she was an Arsenal fan and on more than one occasion she was able to attend one of the Gunners' games.

There are many stories about Queen Elizabeth II during her lifetime, but one of the most curious is the time when the Queen requested a shirt that Jared Borgetti himself once wore and keeps as a precious souvenir in his sports memorabilia gallery.

On one occasion, the Queen requested 80 copies of Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United jersey to give as a gift to her employees at Buckingham. Curiously, that same shirt may have been in Borgetti's hands when he exchanged it with the same Cristiano Ronaldo during the Mexican's time at Bolton.

The Queen's legacy in soccer

Queen Elizabeth II was very close to soccer. He was able to presence every single World Cup since the tournament's creation. In fact, during the 1966 World Cup, she was in charge of financing all the costs to be able to host it in England. One of the first World Cups to be televised.
