Sgt Pepper 64 · 31-12-2012 09:18PM #1

So, come on , own up, we've all done it

Apart from owning Chris Sutton, Robert Fleck and Peter Bonetti shirts ( bad move, hated playing in goal and of course got stuck in there every time, cos I had to wear the shirt cos it was a present)

I got a No 9 shirt with, ahem, Steve Sidwell on it!

Still dont undersdtand how that happened!

I know a man scraping 50 who gets his nickname on his shirt. I don;t have the heart to tell him.

I only ever had a name on the back of one jersey and that was Beckham 7 so that was grand.

I did see a child with the white United jersey from around '08-'09 and he had "Teves 32" on the back...

I went to the Boleyn ground shop when I was younger and I wanted Marc Rieper's name on my shirt, the squad numbers hadn't come out but they told me he would be 5 instead of the retiring Alvin Martin. He ended up getting 8 as I don't think Alvin Martin retired. I also had 3 Dicks on another shirt.

Came very close to gettin Quigley 9 on the back of my rovers jersey this year. Glad I didn't now, I like that jersey.

Mid 40's and had two Liverpooltops with Torres 9 on the back, burnt both of them, will never get a players name on the back of one again. Still have Carragher 23 though

Burning them is a bit extreme. What did he do?

burned them?
Why not just put them in a charity bag or something?

Cole
Downing
Carroll

I still love Nando, even though he left us, he gave me some great memories, including the Torres bounce.
The missus burns all the old clothes, unless they are in perfect nick.

Seen a guy with a Celtic jersey with Eire 32 on the back.

Put my own name in Irish on the back of a jersey. It had to be in an arc with so many letters.

What's Rodriguez as gaeilge? Ó Rodrigéis-olaíocht I'd say. Must have cost a packet!

My brother has Diaby 2 on the back of an old Arsenal jersey. Mind you, he wears the shirt more than Diaby does.

I had a Wimbledon jersey from around 1994, had Jones 4 on the back. Legend!
Wouldn't get a name on a jersey now, i'm too old.

Heskey 8 ... seemed like a good idea at the time Liverpool signed him. Could also add Collymore 8 before he went off the rails... sure knew how to pick them!

Washington Irving · 31-12-2012 10:28PM

Aquilani 4 on a Liverpool shirt a few years ago... It was after he had a few MOTM performances at the end of his first season.

He went on loan two weeks later.

Collymore was acceptable imho.

I have Joe Cole Liverpool jersey do I win?

Rega · 31-12-2012 10:37PM

I had Diao on the back of a Liverpool jersey. He started pretty well when he signed. Remember he scored against Leeds and I was over in Anfield the week later and got it done.

Stupidest.

Decision.

Ever.

Waaaaay off topic here but leave them into Barnardos or somewhere - someone would be very glad of them.

No one, and I mean no one, would wear a Torres 9 Liverpool shirt, no one

The most embarrassing name on a shirt is always your own

DrumSteve · 31-12-2012 11:12PM

I wouldnt imagine Darren Bent sold many shirts.
