Surridge Sport was founded in 1867 and is one of the oldest sports brands in the world. The brand is not just synonymous with cricket but with football as well.
The SS Cobbler was the first synthetic football to be used in the World Cup finals in 1958, when Pele entered the scene.
The SS UFO was the official football used by the FA for years and the iconic white with a red band was the ball superbly struck by Justin Fashanu in 1979/80 for the goal of the season for Norwich against Liverpool.
