To celebrate I got some t-shirts made which look like this:
You can buy them FROM HERE at our Big Cartel site for £12. There really aren't very many of them, especially if you are large. And by large I mean fat or tall. If we don't have it, we'll let you know.
If you'd like to win one, FOR FREE, you have until 11.59pm on the 28th to comment on this post with your favourite player from the Premier League in the 1996/1997 season. The only rule is that the player can't already have been mentioned by someone else. Then by the power of random selection, aided by all the beer we will have drunk by then, we will get someone we don't know to choose a winner based on whatever parameters seem appropriate at that time.
The other thing we're going to do is the exact same game but on our Facebook page, and the winner of that will get a hand drawn one that I draw myself on a white t-shirt with pens. It will look fucking abysmal, but it's still free. Like your momma. Zing!
Start commenting, bitches.
Sir Les of Ferdinand

ReplyDeleteBeloved not-cunt Gianfranco Zola
ReplyDeleteJuninho. Pronounced Ju-nee-nee-hoooooo like Rufio in Hook
ReplyDeleteEddie McGoldrick until he left us (Arsenal) for Man City (when man city were nothing more than the adorable puppy of football). what a guy though!!
ReplyDeleteTechnically this is a trick question. It was called 'The Premiership' back then \being a cunt
ReplyDeleteI want a t-shirt badly though so real answer is: Ramon Vega. Why? Because I was heavy into Street Fighter back then.
Ronny Johnsen
ReplyDeleteFaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabrizio Ravanelli, grey bastard.
ReplyDeleteFrode Grodås, because he was alright and no-one else would mention him. I was going to say Phil Stamp, but even Wikipedia is having trouble remembering him.
ReplyDeleteEgil Ostenstad, with a line going through the O.
ReplyDeleteNicky Butt. His name entertained me to no end. It still does...lol butt
ReplyDeleteDavid "My name is not Dave" Ginola. Sexy beast.

ReplyDeleteAli Dia - done what we would all love to do - blagged his way into a premier league start and got a whole 21 minutes before being hauled off
ReplyDeletepaul scholes. scores goals
ReplyDeleteJason Lee, purely because of his pineapple
ReplyDeleteKeith Gillespie - he always fell over when he crossed the ball.
ReplyDeletePretty sure he never smiled either. I decided to follow the strict rules of the f.c.j.e. (fitbathatba code of journalistic excellence) and a quick internet search confirmed my suspicions.
Carlton palmer. He was just lovely. I love him.
ReplyDeleteRuel Fox
ReplyDelete(although Jason Cundy was a close second due to the similarity of his name to a certain swearword)
Kasey Keller, because I'm American and that's all the justification I need.
ReplyDeleteMark Moreno is an anagram of Mark E Moron.
ReplyDeleteTony Yeboah, hands down. This will explain:

Lee Sharpe. Had a fanclub run for him by his sister. He and Ryan Giggs had matching Jeeps. He appeared on Celebrity Wrestling on ITV in 2005.
ReplyDeleteTim Sherwood!!!
ReplyDeleteRoberto Di Matteo of course! FA Cup Final winning goal-scorer!
ReplyDeletePaolo Di Canio
ReplyDeletePetrus Ferdinandus Johannes "Pierre" van Hooijdonk
ReplyDeleteI don't have one as City were in Division One at the time. I'll guess David Batty, he's the name behind the silver scratch thingy on this football card right?
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to go with Vieira, just because he's insane, but in the end I went with the obvious choice of Tomas Brolin, Leeds United. After leading Sweden to great glory and all that in the World cup of 94' he conquered England with his, uh, dazzling football skills and... flappy face. Yes, truly a great man. And by great I just mean fat.
ReplyDeleteDwight Yorke because he is from Trinidad and Tobago, and that is a funny name for a country.
ReplyDeleteRobbie Fowler cuz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW8ZIdJZ9dU
ReplyDeleteChris Bart Williams. What more needs to be said.
ReplyDeleteStuart Pearce at Nottingham Forest. Player-Managers are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteDanny Cadamarteri. His dreads once hit me in the eye.
ReplyDeleteThe correct answer is obviously Niall Quinn and his disco pants.
ReplyDeleteMark Hughes' because of his silky volley skills
ReplyDeleteBjorn Tore Kvarme - he gave me hope that I could still make it as a professional footballer.
ReplyDeleteFaustino Asprilla. Surely Mario Balotelli's inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThis was the season where David Beckham decided to make fun of Tennis by scoring from the half-way line against Wimbledon. So I'm going with him.
ReplyDeletePatrick Viera, because he threatened to beat me up if I didnt recommend him.
ReplyDeleteEmerson, because he had amazing hair, and then went on to be shit for Rangers.
ReplyDeleteIan Harte. "super" Ian Harte. Cut him and he bleeds goals.
ReplyDeleteThe slender striker loved by Tims and Gooners alike: John Hartson.
ReplyDeleteThe Man the myth the GREEK LEGEND that was...... Giorgos Donis...... The Blackburn Midfield.... such promise :o)
ReplyDeletePeter Ndlovu, because nobody outside of Coventry could pronounce his name.
ReplyDeleteScott Taylor - Leicester City F.C.
