Now then,

After a nice wee trip to the Isle of Wight this weekend I found myself in one of those little gift shops, trying to find some sun cream, pink nosed and with the sun making an unexpected appearance.

Next to to the till lie a rack of hand carved wooden beer matts with all sorts of strange clubs from Bromley, Den Haag & the mighty Grimsby Town.

That got me thinking, has anyone ever brought some not quite official town merch from further afield than Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, some 270 miles from the motherland?

The owner did inform me that he’s sold 5 other Grimsby Town wooden beer matts, as he has to order them in sixes, and mine was the last. In that case I believe I’ve answered my own question.



One of those beer matts belong to me! Assuming it was from the same place

Not bought. But I did once trade an old town shirt for a Senegal shirt with a local on the Mauritania/Senegal border. Even taught him a few anti-Yorkshire chants during the 6 hours we had to wait to cross for refusing to pay the border guards a hundred euro bribe to be "fast-tracked"

excuse the poor quality photo, the shutter got stuck and clogged up with sand after weeks in the Sahara.

You can trade anything from an ‘ivory’ carving to a small village including all livestock for a football shirt in Africa. Wore my shirt on a Saturday afternoon once for a ‘cultural walk’ around Nanyuki in Kenya. Never known harrassment like it. Didn’t do it again.

I bought a town wembley 98 shirt at the stadium.

Wore it in Vegas and Hawaai  also wore an England shirt with just the cross on it no wording.

That baffled the guide and he knew we were from England.  h


Me and my dad were in the queue at the till at Walmart in Dallas in 2004. I was wearing my Euro 2004 England home shirt and the man in front of us turned round and asked us if we were Australian cause we said mate a lot.

It was the constant bribes being expected by virtually every single policeman or border guard we came in to contact with between Morocco and Gambia that got on my mammaries. It wasn't so bad at first coz we paid the bribes with cheap fags and ballpoint pens we bought in Gibraltar, but they had run out by the time we got to the Senegal border, and those border guards were grade A girl privates wanting massive backhanders, both on the way in and on the way out.
