A FOOTIE fan has become the first person to build all 92 Premier and Football League club stadiums from Lego.
Jules Richards, 45, spent 3½ years putting together the grounds and used 160,000 bricks.
Cardiff City supporter Jules Richards, 45, started his epic Lego journey with his beloved team's stadium

He began in 2015 with his beloved Cardiff City’s stadium — and was then asked by a Sheffield Wednesday fan to create a Hillsborough.
Each of the 15 inch by 15 inch models took about 10 hours to complete.
His version of Barnsley’s Oakwell now sits in the League One club’s boardroom.
And Wolves have one of Jules’ creations on display in their main entrance at Molineux.
Man City's Etihad Stadium in Lego form
Chelsea's Stamford Bridge made from Lego by Jules Richards
Huddersfield Town's John Smith's Stadium scaled down to 15 inch by 15 inch in a Lego model
Plymouth Argyle's Home Park in miniature form as part of his 3 and a half year challenge
Jules, of Luton, said: “I’ve always liked Lego as a kid and it’s continued from there. I didn’t think I’d do all 92.”
Some of his stadiums have been snapped up by fans for £140.
Newly-promoted Fulham's Craven Cottage in Lego form
Lincoln City's Sincil Bank
Nottingham Forest's famous City Ground could fetch more than £140 from a beloved fan
Jules, who also created Leeds United's Elland Road, says he 'always liked Lego as a kid'
But he says he has no plans to build any more and has either sold or dismantled his creations, including a Wembley and Barcelona’s Camp Nou.
Jules, who studies photos of each ground to make his mini masterpieces, added: “They’ve either gone to buyers or dismantled. I don’t have any in my home that are for me. I have made a huge Ninian Park for a guy in Jersey.”
He said the trickiest ground to make was Burnley’s Turf Moor as it boasts working floodlights.
He completed his final ground, Preston North End's Deepdale, last week.
West Ham United's former stadium Boleyn Ground (they now play at the Olympic Stadium)
His model of Burnley’s Turf Moor even boasts working floodlights
Jules Richards used 160,000 bricks to create stadiums including Old Trafford
A Sheffield Wednesday fan asked Jules to create a model of Hillsborough
Liverpool's Anfield is one of the many models Jules worked on in three years
Jules says he has dismantled many of his models, including Aston Villa's Villa Park
Cardiff-born Jules is a Wales fan but will be watching England’s progress in the World Cup.
He added: “Hopefully they will do well and get as far as they can.
"They’re youngsters on the big stage but they’re good enough to get far.”
The Canaries will love this colourful model of Norwich City's Carrow Road
Jules Richards has also created models of European giants including Barcelona's vast Nou Camp
