I never intended to buy a replica of the World Championship trophy myself. My first reaction was, “No way am I doing that.” After dedicating an entire year to earn that trophy, it felt strange to pay for a copy of something I had actually won.
The effort and commitment I put into the season made the idea of purchasing a replica seem almost unnecessary. I had already achieved the ultimate prize, and spending money to replicate it didn’t sit right with me initially.
Thankfully, my manager stepped in and offered to get the trophy for me. Their gesture was really generous, and it meant I didn’t have to make that decision on my own. It was a thoughtful way of celebrating the accomplishment.
The replica itself wasn’t cheap by any means. I believe it cost around £35,000, which is a substantial amount for something you technically already own. It’s a significant investment, even for a keepsake of such a major achievement.
In the end, I appreciated having the trophy displayed as a reminder of the year’s hard work and success. While it was expensive, having that tangible symbol of my efforts made it feel worthwhile and special.
