Anderz 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Just read on the BBC website, in an article about Vodafone and Man United parting company, that United have only ever had 2 shirt sponsors - Sharp (1982-2000) and Vodafone (2000-2005)How many shirt sponsors have we had in our history, I''m guessing at about 6-7, but thats only an estimate... Anyone wanna try naming them all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 271 Posted November 24, 2005 Jas is as much a fan and supporter as you Dicky - a bit of gallows humour never did anyone any harm and can help through some tough times, such as now for city fans.Has to be durex - to provide some cover for defence, or IBM for creative solutions in support of the attack...Or for the fans some anti depressants - to keep us all happy!

Morph 19 Posted November 24, 2005 Has to be some manufacturer of Viagara for me - "For the longer lasting experience."Or perhaps Walt Disney World. We need something to "Discover the Magic". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anderz 0 Posted November 25, 2005 Had no idea that this posting would go off on quite such a steep tangent and create a much needed and welcome diversion to the doom and gloom being permeated on here lately. I think the Samaritan''s idea with the telephone number visible is my favourite so far - with all suggestions obviously borne out of collective anxiety for whats happening to our beloved Club...
