INVENTIVE Port Glasgow chocolatiers have created a replica of an iconic sporting honour for a football fundraiser.

The team at The New Chocolate Company in Kelburn Business Park have designed a choc replica of the European Golden Boot.

Robert Alexander Butchers in the Port has taken delivery of the sweet treat, which took expert crafters 60 hours to create.

The chocolate sculpture is being auctioned off from the shop to raise money for Port Glasgow Juniors FC.

The real Golden Boot is awarded to the footballer who finishes the season as the leading league scorer across all of Europe's top divisions.
