now for those of u who have known me long enough, u'd probably say, " wait a minute .. didnt u already have one ?? u noe the one u said ur cousin bought from old trafford ?? so was tht all a lie then ?? "
no that is not ... i repeat NOT a lie ... yes ... that WAS from old trafford ... yes that IS an original jersey ... but that is NOT COMPLETE !! :P
see .. a complete jersey is a jersey which has not only a number at the back, but a player's name ( usually called a hero jersey in UK ) and also the badge of the league on the sleeves ... My previous jersey, only had the number ..
the current one, which i'm proud to say will be the first of many ( i intend to start a collection to treasure for years to come - hence the title " start of sumthin ...")(and yes ... the collection will ne *dare i say it ?* Legen ... wait for it ... DARY !! ) is the 2008/09 away jersey of Manchester United, which was launched in July 2008 ...
My jersey comes complete with the name of Wayne Rooney on the bck along with the legendary number 10, n has the golden BPL badge on both sleeves, emphasising MU's status as the DEFENDING PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS !!
The reason i chose Rooney's name, is not only because he's a young talented striker who's skill on the ball is outstanding, and is capable of unlocking even the tightest of defences, but also because he's a dedicated striker to the team, n plays for the benefit of the team first, n himself 2nd.
For those of u who're curious abt the price, the jersey was the usual RM 259 that can be found in any Nike Store ... but the name n numbering cost a whooping RM 169 in total !!
Well, enuf bragging abt that for now :P
I shall leave u with pictures of said treasure for ur viewing pleasure :)
