Players names on shirts - the unusual ones

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Many players are easy & obvious - 8 Gerrard being a prime example. But which are the weirdest ones you've seen? Not someone's own name, but players of ours that are either unloved or just not obvious. Lucas would be a 'less obvious' one, but I'm also thinking downright weird - Balotelli, Konchesky....

[cymrococh]

Saw a grown man in a Borini one once, about a day after we'd signed him.

That deffo qualifies as a weird one

[Barnesy_10]

my eldest got Balotelli on his shirt on the day we signed him..... was adamant that we got him as he thought he was great for some reason.... Fortunately it was on a shirt that was in the sale in the club shop... 

[Leo No.8]

I had John Scales on my Liverpool shirt once.

 

People said I looked like him. And I rated him.

[dorgie]

One of my sons got Sinclair on his thinking he was going to be the next big thing. That went well.

[cymrococh]

I bought a Mascherano shirt for when I was travelling through Argentina. It was just a magnet for people to come up to me saying 'Tevez, Manchester'.

a mate got Diouf on the back of his shirt after the home game against Southampton (his home debut?)

 

he used to wear it to 5 a side and never lived it down even after taking the lettering off (remaining glue still spelt Diouf)

[New York Red]

i saw an American bloke with "Shanley" on the back of his shirt when we played Roma at Fenway Park. I told him that he had it spelled wrong. He hadn't. His name was Shanley.

Haha. I suspect there are many a Diouf shirt buried in the bottom of wardrobes never to see light of day again.

[Boca]

Last two shirts my young fella got were Skrtel and Clyne. The glamour!

[Molby]

I've got a long-sleeved Italia '78 top with my own name on the back

[downunder]

I saw someone at Anfield with a Sean Dundee shirt once

And a Denmark '86 one of course

[Hassony]

I sae someone with 'Milne' the other day at anfield, didn't know if that was his name or the store just ran out of Rs

[Rory Fitzgerald]

I've had

Biscan (black 02/03)

Hamamn (red 03/04)

Gerrard (white 03/04)

Mascherano (08/09)

 

Biscan was in the LFC shop and raised an eyebrow.

Mascherano in Dublin and the girl asked me to spell it and if it was my name

Wool. 

In fact, anybody who isnt a child who gets a players name on the back of their shirt is wool. 

[Leo No.8]

Yeah I think shirt names for adults are pretty wool.

 

The last ones I had were the Scales one and a Roberto Baggio Juve shirt when I was a kid.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Wool. 

In fact, anybody who isnt a child who gets a players name on the back of their shirt is wool. 

 

I'd go as far as saying anyone who isn't a child or actually playing footy....

[Benzo-13]

I'd Smicer 7 99/00 on that mad green shirt.

I can't and won't argue with that. Just don't ask me to explain my actions.

[Leo No.8]

Why does everyone keep asking Rory what he's wearing? He's obviously got some admirers.
