The Cuban flag version is actually the GK kit. Wexford have a version too, although with the digital print style the face is a bit less visible.

There are quite a few footballers more prepared to come out as lefties these days. Spitty Neville unfortunately. Raheem is a Labour Party supporter. To be fair most probably aren’t that interested as long as their taxes are not increased. In the past Jack Charlton was a Labour supporter as well as Cloughie plus Shankly. Never forgot where they came from.

Clarke Carlisle and Joseph Barton have both appeared on question Time back in the day. Although the bastard was probably just looking for an ego boost.
