He plants, he waters, he scores!

With the European Football Championships over this week, and the English Premiership not starting until August, we're sure you're going to miss your favourite sport this summer.

But help is at hand now, thanks to BoysStuff.co.uk, with their awesome Grow Your Own Football Pitch, a brilliantly bonkers planting tray that contains everything you need to grow a miniature version of your team's home pitch.

Fully licensed, Grow Your Own Pitch comes with two packs of the specific seed mixture used to create its full-sized counterpart. However, this isn't just any grass (so no cheating trying to create one with garden centre seeds), it apparently can take up to 15 years to develop the seeds used on pitches, and each team's turf is grown from a special blend of seed combinations. Who said football wasn't educational?

Once you've planted the seeds in the soil provided, wait for your pitch to blossom and you're ready to go.

All you need now is some lego people with your favourite players' heads stuck on them, and a few supporters with flags, scarves and flailing toilet roll.

The only disappointing thing is that the footie gimmick only comes in two versions: Arsenal and Manchester United, which is bad if you're a Chelsea, Man City or any other supporter. You could, however, invest in one and occupy it with your own team's players. Think of it as a football version of Risk.

Not only will you be able to fill that post-Euro 2008 void, you'll also learn how to grow football pitch grass and impress your office pals.
