About Icons

The Icons signed football memorabilia shop was initially a small part of the popular personal players website of leading footballers www.icons.com. At the outset in 1999, Icons.com provided personal websites for Ryan Giggs, Dennis Bergkamp, Henrik Larsson and Dirk Kuyt amongst many others.

The idea for developing the Icons shop came from the great relationships we had with these leading players.

They realised that there was a huge demand from fans around the world for 100 per cent authentic signed football memorabilia. Over the years, they have travelled far and wide to carry out exclusive signing sessions with the world's greatest ever footballers: Pele, Diego Maradona, Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Lionel Messi, Fernando Torres – the list is endless.

In 2007 they re-launched the Icons website as a standalone shop and concentrated on satisfying this demand for quality signed products from the biggest names in the game. As football fans their selves, Icons want the best products from best players too.

Their aim now is simple; to provide our customers with the best range of authentic signed football memorabilia there is.

I'd like to thank everyone for making October another record-breaking month for visitors to High School Football America and The High School Football Huddle.

Over the next couple of days, I'm going to spend some time chronicling my travels back east to Pennsylvania to continue filming my documentary Roseto's Royals that examines the relationship between the town of Roseto and its high school football team, the Pius X Royals.

Later this week, you'll learn about how you can become part of the project at KickStarter.com.

But until then...

This afternoon, I was on the practice field to watch the 10-1 Royals prepare for this Saturday's District XI Class A championship game against Shenandoah. Pius is the third smallest school playing high school football in Pennsylvania.

According to the latest enrollment numbers from the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association in 2009, Pius had 63 boys enrolled in the school. Imani Christian is the smallest school with 42 boys, according to the PIAA; Bucktail, which lost 56-34 to Pius this season, has 53 boys enrolled. Imani, in Pittsburgh, just ended its first year of varsity football, playing a six-game schedule.

While the Royals may be small in enrollment numbers, they have some big football numbers.

The Royals are led by second-year head coach Phil Stambaugh, who was a record-setting quarterback at Lehigh University and played in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Stambaugh, who also played for two years in NFL Europe in Germany (Rhein Fire and Berlin Thunder), runs a wide-open pro-style offense that is building sophomore quarterback A.J. Long into a Division I prospect.

Last year, Long set a Pennsylvania record for passing yards by a freshman. Long threw for 2,852 yards last season with 28 touchdowns and just six interceptions.

So far this season, the 6-foot, 180-pounder has thrown for 2,779 yards with 35 TDs and 8 picks. Long, who has also rushed for 622 yards and 14 touchdowns, has completed 164 of 240 passes (68.3%). His quarterback rating is 133, according to MaxPreps.

If Long continues on his current pace over his next two seasons, he'll shatter every state passing record.
