Top Man t-shirt sparks outrage

When Anelka wore the 39 shirt did you immediately think of Heysel?

My first thoughts were "why couldn't he pick a decent squad number the silly ****?".

Heysel was done, dusted and sorted - at least as much as it ever would be, well before Anelka chose shirt 39.
Hillsborough was in the public eye for around 25 years.

I dont see the comparison,at all.

Does this make anyone think of the bbc's attack on Pete the Badge, in a similar fashion?

Thought about it for a few seconds, and now you mention it...... no.

Well, it’s been withdrawn as expected. 1996 is now officially not a real year, just in case.
My son has had a new city shirt for the last 12 years with 96 on it. Guess what year he was born?
Conspiracies about Kennedy and the moon landings are bad enough but conspiracies about football tragedies, really?

My lad was born in ‘96, can I get a refund now.

Call me cynical but I find it hard to believe someone thought "Im going to make a t-shirt about a song called 'what goes around' and make 90% of the design the year it was released".

Bob Marley released a song in 1996?
