I know you mean fitba shirts and cringe of getting a name on just a normal t-shirt would be worse. However, my sisters came over from Scotland last March and presented me with a navy blue t-shirt with a Saltire on the heart and my nickname on the back, with a number 1 on it. I was well chuffed. Then my son walked into the room with the same t-shirt but with 2, then my wee daughter with 3. The nickname is a play on my surname. Brought a tear to my eye. We all wear them proudly, but very rarely at the same time if ever apart from that day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you actually call it football? As in, you verbally pronounce it that way instead of just writing it that way? I only ever do that when talking to foreigners or landed gentry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
