Players names you regret having on the back of your Coventry shirt (3 Viewers)

[Mdyer1985]

My cousin reminded me the time when he got Robbie Keane on the back of his shirt and within a week he had left to go to inter Milan . If memory serves me right there was a fan with a Robert jani shirt . I thought I was so cool having jones on the back of the green and black striped shirt cobi jones . Any other names from the past you regret

Robbie Keane. Got the shirt before my holiday. Me, mum, dad and brother all had Keane on the back. We were all wearing them when some guy told us he’d just signed for Inter Milan that day

That was the same with my cousin we were on holiday and someone broke the bad news to us

You could have simply changed the family name to Keane by Deadpoll

 

[robbiekeane]

Sorry lads

Looks so good on the shirt.

He was so class.

Which leads me to… Keane or Gyokeres?

Scored against England u19s last night. Presumably an offspring.

Detsi Kruszynski

In the days of charging by the letter!?

Rarely mentioned ex player….Terry Tickles

But only because his name wouldn’t fit so against my better judgment, the club shop made me change Terry to Tez and that’s when the problems started.

Dunno, it’s a pretty common surname

Danny Fox, after SISU said he wouldn’t be sold. Then a week later he was sold to Celtic

 

[skybluelee]

Dublin on my 98/99 shirt. Took my mum days to steam off his name when the bastard left. Thanks mum!

Charlie McCann, was mates with his Dad as we used to play bowls together. He gifted me a signed u21s shirt with McCann on the back. Wore it out once, on my bike, and people just shouted 'Where's Maddie?' at me. The next week he moved to Man United.

Robert Yarni!

Least you didn’t wear it on a holiday to the Algarve

Definitely regrettable, made even worse by them spelling it wrongly for you

 

[skybluepm2]

David Thompson on the black away shirt days before he moved to Blackburn

Most bizarre…. Simeon Jackson

 

[jackdg]

My lads got a Todd Kane 20 shirt…

Limited edition of one I’d have thought… who’ll start the bidding at £200

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Lee Hughes I’ve still got it and thankfully its wearing off

 

[RegiswasGod]

Wasn't it the striped shirt in 00/01... he played all season in that one.

There were plenty of Dublin with Judas below the 9 around Oct/Nov when he left... I went with the steam it off like Lee mentioned.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I still have it.....

never regret mate.

Only ever had two names on the backs of shirts. Don't regret either.

One was Nilsson when we had that circle on the back around '98.

Other was my own surname on the back of the 92-93 third kit cos we were able to get it for free. Wasn't going to turn something down for free, but was worried a player might leave, so went with my own name. Thinking way too much even as a 12yo!

Actually tried to think of a way you could replace names because of it. Thought of having the name put on a separate piece of fabric which might be attached by press-studs (worried they might hurt if you fell on them), velcro (too easy for people to rip off and would probably look naff after a while) or sewn on and could be unpicked. What a dull child (but at least I started as I meant to go on!)
