Title: Gabby cuts the crap

"I don't pick them, they're a bit dodgy but we have to wear them." Gabriel Agbonlahor delights his boot sponsor Nike. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11979_7226828,00.html

I dont care if her worse Gucci slip ons with a 2 inch cuban heal - just carry on the way you are playing son

To be honest if i was a manager i would in a Cloughesque way demand that all players where bootsa as they should be
Black

There seems to be a new boot coming out every week and they are starting to look ridiculous

They seem to be working for him so I do not mind what he wears.

That reminds me of what Harry Redknapp said about Scott Parker last weekend, something like 'In training each day I've got player wearing white boots, red boots, yellow boots etc. Then out runs Scott - black boots every time. I like that, he's old school and brings that out onto the pitch.'

But I agree, who cares what Gabby's wearing on his feet when he's playing like this. I just liked that he came out and said it.

Anyone remember a couple of years ago at Wigan away when one of their players wore a hideous pair of yellow boots and we sang to the tune of
"He's got bananas on his feet"

And it was deemed rascist by some????

I remember the Rags coming out at Villa Park in 75 or 77 in an all yellow kit and the Holte responded with "We all hate bananas".

As for the boots, as long as Gabby has his scoring boots on, they can be any bloody colour.

If I get home from the match and say that Gabby has scored the first thing the missus says is "bet he was wearing his yellow boots"

Yes, I remember that, quite a furore was made by the Wigan fans too.
 
In a fashion age of 'vintage', the black boot is well due a return and hopefully we will see it soon. 

I remember as a young kid George Best's revolutionary...side lace up boots, available in white.  No self-respecting kid who knew how to kick a ball went anywhere near them, mainly because they couldn't afford them but really didn't want them as those who did and could afford them were crap at football.

Best - Stylo Matchmakers!  - http://www.footy-boots.com/vintage-football-boots-6437/ (http://www.footy-boots.com/vintage-football-boots-6437/)

Stylo also did some boots where the front four studs revolved on some sort of plate to aid quicker turning - or have I just dreamt it????

Once bought a pair of red nike '90' indoor football boots.  Turned up wearing them for a casual 5 a side.  Never again.

Adidas World Cup were/are the best boots, and God wore them so that's final.

Puma King always made players with big feet look like they were wearing clown shoes.

Asics boots for me. Don't know the model. This is unimportant though, when considering my Sondico keeper gloves.

Adidas Beckenbauer Supers (and the really flash bastards put red studs in them).  The duffers, who were always last to get picked when picking sides, always seemed to be wearing Winfield Wonders.
