The modern game in the UK is a kaleidoscope of colourful characters from every corner of the world. Many find it a struggle to adapt to the harsher western European climate and so find ways to stay warm wearing various warm weather attire such as gloves and in some cases even tights.
I make a plea to our incoming manager please, please, please no tights at Latics. If a player suggests wearing tights just say NO its either stockings or nothing. If the player argues then its stiletto heels too. A sort of mobile pitch aerator.
Just imagine a load of players camping it up on the pitch in stockings and high heels. Could be different!
