UK: "West Ham" Soccer Team License Plate Could Break Arsenal’s Record

Arsenal might be leading both the Premier League Soccer race and the… the Premier League of personalised registrations as the beholder of the most expensive football personal registration auctioned to date in the UK, – “AR53 NAL” was sold for £36,000 or $73,330 / €51,870 in 2004, but West Ham United might very well take Arsenal’s unofficial title away. According to DLVA auctioneers, the licence plate reading “WE57 HAM” that will be auctioned by DVLA Personalised Registrations at Down Hall Hotel in Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, from October 24 to 26, could very well go over £36,000. -Continued after the jump

Damian Lawson, Marketing Manager for DVLA Personalised Registrations, said: ‘We get huge amounts of interest whenever we release football related registration numbers for auction, but we are particularly excited by this one. We know what a large and passionate support there is for West Ham and because the number reads so well we think it stands a real chance of topping the table of football plates.’
