I bought this shirt two years ago in a Sports Direct in Brighton, England. I still don't know why it cost only £12. I love the tailored by Umbro style (I really regret the imminent Umbro's disappearance) and the classy shirts like this one. It's a shame the contract that England has signed with Nike, which I think won't benefit the Three Lions.
It's late to wish you Merry Christmas, so I'm going to wish you a happy New Year just in case.
Instead of Santa Claus, here in Spain the Three Wise Men or tres Reyes Magos bring presents on the 6th of January, and my birthday is on the 4th of January, so I'm expecting a pair of new shirts for the collection...

Andy Carroll scored just 11 goals during his 56 matches for Liverpool

LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB
-Founded: 15 March 1892
-5 European Cups (Last one: 2005); 18 English Leagues (Last one: 1990)
-Biggest rival: Everton FC

The club's supporters have been involved in two major tragedies. The first was the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985 in which charging Liverpool fans caused a wall to collapse, killing 39 Juventus supporters. In the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, 96 Liverpool supporters lost their lives in a crush against perimeter fencing.

I love the triangle pattern which covers the shirt. The sleeves and the cuffs are incredibly wide and long (I suppose that's the trend these days) and the gold lines are very cool. Wouldn't it be better with the Carlsberg logo on it?
