Most embarrassing name on a shirt

Sgt Pepper 64

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.

The_Kew_Tour

Kanchelskis 14 and Cole 9 for United

Glass 11 for Hibs.

Never got name number combo with Cork.

Did get Keane 6 on my Ireland jersey few days before kicked out of Ireland squad though.

On a Liverpool shirt in my youth, thread over!

dahat

Mate of mine called Fernando has Torres on the back of his shirt,now that is embarasing!!!

Mars Bar

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...

Captain Havoc

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?

RayCon

The only two times my son got a name on the back of his jersey, the player left at the end of that season :

• Alonso
• Torres

.... I currently begging him to get :

• Cole
• Downing
• Carroll

JoeA3

I still see the odd lad in the pubs with "Keane 7" on their Liverpool shirts.

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.

Paco Rodriguez

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!

keano_afc

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

Cienciano

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.

Fowler87

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

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

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

I wouldnt imagine Darren Bent sold many shirts.

That deserves a tread of its own!

Rayne Wooney

Got Tim Howard on a United shirt, got some stick over that alright

wonga77

Have a friend who used to wear the Villa jersey with Draper on the back and it was his pride and joy. The D peeled off in the wash, he carried on wearing it anyway...

Al Capwned

Xavi6

'Jordan 4' on a City away shirt. Just marginally worse than two Joey Bartons and a Samaras

A friend got McGeady on a Celtic shirt only for the 'e' and 'd' to peel off. Oh the fun we had pointing out the new name

Never got a name on a shirt.

Prefer them the way they are tbh.

No idea why people put their own name on their shirt In case they forget their name?

If you are going to buy a shirt in the first place whats the harm in getting your name put on it? I've never done it but I can understand it as much and maybe even more than having a players name on it.

BhoscaCapall

On professional players Chicorito, Hulk etc. Makes them look like chavs on a Magaluf holiday and it's a farce they're allowed to do it.

On fans, anyone above the age of 13 who gets their own name or a current player.

Rekop dog

I had Brunt on my jersey. B pealed off, r changed to a C. But then the n pealed off too, so close...

/ridiculous thread.

At Elland Road for Man United game years ago spotted at about a dozen home fans with

WE

MAN U

Quite clever in a way I suppose but bit of a chip on the shoulder mentality. Was United's first domestic game after qualifying for Champions' League final in 99. Good times

Would you have said the same for Pele, Jairzinho, Tostão???

Yes, why wouldn't I?

Putting a shorter version of your name is ok if you have a mental long one but nicknames your mates give you... getoutuvit. What if the English lads turned out with all their gammy names 'Wazza', 'Ando' etc :rolleyes:

So Ronaldinho (real name: Ronaldo Assis de Moreira) is OK, but Hulk (Givanildo Vieira de Souza) isnt?

Serious temptation to use roll eyes here....

Mr Whirly

At the Everton v Bohs match in Dalymount I saw a lad in an Everton jersey that read "I 8 the sh1te". It was unfortunate.

Bounty Hunter

I remember there was pic of an Arsenal fan (i think) floating around with Huntelaar on his back as he thought they were going to sign him. That must have been quite embarrassing

I've seen heysel references on the back of efc shirts, can't remember the exact way it was put, but something about murders
