For most people, collecting soccer stickers is a mere hobby, but for 54-year-old Gianni Bellini it has become a way of life.

Gianni, who owns the largest soccer sticker collection in the world, started collecting professionally when he was just 19, and more recently, he splashes out around £3,500 ($4,658) every year on new sticker additions.

The vast majority of Gianni's wealth has been spent on his impressive collection that covers leagues from across the globe.

He said that one of his sealed sticker albums, from the Mexico 1970 World Cup, is worth around £1,000 alone.

Gianni's story will feature in The History of Football global TV event, airing on History (excluding US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand), from May 28 to June 10,2018.
