Hi guys,
Now, youse here all watch footy all over the world on TV etc!!
I cannot recall seeing a player getting another players shirt at half time in Any competitive match ever. Ever!!!
 So, can anyone provide me with other examples of this happening? Preferably in England as the argument being advanced is that it happens all the time in South America.
I believe it happens in Man City games frequently
 Personally, I have never witnessed it either AT a match or when watching at TV. There are many here who would have attended far more matches live, so might be able to assist.
Links to TV/Youtube etc would be really appreciated, or personal knowledge even. Ya know I love facts...!!
 Thanks a mill.

Have seen it before alright, can't remember exactly where though. I watch Tunnel Cam on City TV and can't recall ever seeing it there. Pathetic trend |

Funny that, but i've a guy who is a City fan who says he sees it all the time on TUnnel Cam on City TV- but has also failed to say in which games etc it happened!!
Frankly, until someone shows me the wounds, I'll stay as Thomas!!

| Gary Neville on MNF on Sky Sports last night said it's very common. He said it usually takes place in the tunnel as quite a few players nowadays change their shirts at half-time anyway and just swap them in the tunnel. He said he never done it, but it's very common. |

This is as close as Tunnel Cam has got to the showers unfortunately, in a personal favourite episode from May

Happens the whole time with "superstars".Remember a few years ago when Utd played Burton or someone in the cup, Ronaldo ended up giving away shirts at half and full time, and then afterwards his boots, shinguards and more! Beckham in the US usually swaps 2+ shirts per game. |

The 2 lads on Talksport (chelsea fan and spurs fan) were talking earlier on today about the Santos/RVP shirt swapping on Saturday and one said he cant understand all the abuse Santos is getting, OK he had a terrible game but if you watch the clip on Youtube Van Persie clearly comes over to him at half time and asks to swap shirts. |

I seen Paulo Ferreira do it after getting killed by Ronaldinho for a half. He didn't appear in the 2ND half. It's pretty shameless imo if you have a sh*t game and start asking people for their shirts. I always cringe when I see people running up as soon as the game ends to swap shirts. |

I think remember when 2 benfica players were fighting over who'd get Ronaldinhos shirt when they played Barca in CL quarter final in 06. One of them ran over to Ronaldinho at half-time as he was walking off the pitch to make sure he got it

Swapping shirts at half time is the biggest load of cock I ever seen, WTF.........if I was a Gooner at the Theatre of Wet on Saturday, I'd have been waiting at the Gunners team bus after the game to slaughter Santos. Concentrate on trying to improve your shambolic performances before swooning over an ex-team mate for his Jaysus shirt.
I despair of modern day pros more and more these days.
