Were a dark all green sock. Then post Euro88 had a lighter sock with white rings. What was all that about?

Robbie Keane threw a pair of white ones out of hotel window in Gdansk. Not Persil white. Left them on the ground

That’s cool! I’ve always been on the lookout, but they never seem to appear for sale.

Was it Terry Phelan that used to always turn the top of the socks over as to hide the white hoops so they were all green or at least some times, or did I just imagine that, lockdown is not going well  ------------- Just because it's tradition does not make it right |

One to sniff and one to wank with. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |
