      Had it been won at Leicester, they'd all have had Glacier Mints. Elsewhere, it could've been Bluebird Toffee, for which they'd have needed a Hammer.

      I'm sure other Premier League confectionery-based humour is also available.

            Oi! This is not the Guardian football comments section.

              I thought of this post and the ensuing discussion when I saw this today :

                A surprisingly clean-shaven team for the times, I've always thought.

                  I didn't know Stan Laurel had been involved with the club.

                    Quite like the black socks, incidentally, and interesting to see a couple of pairs of, what, white/grey/silver boots, though maybe that's the colouriser having a bit of fun.

                      Heh! Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if he was. The club was a common target of the music hall comics.

                          He appears to have been big in every direction. Which probably helped, as a ‘keeper... Given people were on average smaller back then, he must have seemed enormous.

                          I mean, compare him to the bloke on his left. It’s ridiculous.
