Found an interesting set of stats at the bottom of this (also fairly interesting) article:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/international/article4029732.ece

Top-selling football shirts (according to Subside Sports, so it's obviously a tad flawed since clubs' own official sales aren't taken into account, I don't think):

1, Fernando Torres, Liverpool
2, Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United
3, Lionel Messi, Barcelona
4, Wayne Rooney, Manchester United
5, David Beckham, Los Angeles Galaxy
6, Nicolas Anelka, Chelsea
7, Steven Gerrard, Liverpool
8. Cesc Fàbregas, Arsenal
9, Francesco Totti, Roma
10, El Niño (Torres again)


Anelka?

rooney?

for what period?

I guess if it's 2008 then Anelka's inclusion is due to him being Chelsea's only big money super sexy marquee player this season.

Torres twice?

No Downing?

Not that surprised about Anelka...Chelsea just bought him. It'll have been all the rage with Chelsea fans both real and plastic...new player..cost a bit..striker..odd forehead..name on the shirt

I'm in hong kong right now, and I can get you all of those shirts for a fiver.

I've bought myself a gerrard and a lampard shirt, they both do the same job, but the gerrard one seems a lot better

you can get a blank one and have punty put on it, but that would probably cost more than the shirt

I don't want a blank shirt tho
pretty dull

How cheap are the DVD's and stuff over there?

Surprised there's not a Celtic player in there. Those sad c**ts must have 10 Celtic tops each either that or they wear the same one every.single.day.

very cheap if you buy copies whihc are never as good quality, but why bother as you can download everything yourself these days

what could be interesting is the copy blue-ray dvds

Quaresma's the only named jersey I bought.

Have an Adidas Sporting, Reebok Sporting Quaresma, and then 3 Portugal jerseys... no names.

I've noticed English fans usually get names on the back. Any particular reason?

I guess I could get a named jersey, but without it I feel like I'm supporting the whole squad and not just that one player. I'm pretty sure Portugal's Ronaldo 7 jersey is going to be huge though...

All the jerseys I buy have players names on them. I'm a bit of a collector.

I've seen some people that do that; pretty much every foreign team a Portuguese player has played for...with their name on the jersey of course.

I want to get Torres but it's so common now it's replaced Gerrard!

Yeah I have about 30 jerseys. First ever jersey my dad bought me was Delvecchio's Roma one when I was 4yo. Most recent one is De Rossi's 16 jersey, Kappa Home shirt.

I'm actually wearing Pires' yellow 03/04 Nike away jersey as I type.
