Canarygeorge 0 Posted January 20, 2013 Gary Hooper@HOOP588Thanks Adidas for my new boots.. http://lockerz.com/s/278235694 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,722 Posted January 20, 2013 If the hint you are suggesting is that he will be staying at Celtic as he has new boots with his shirt number on them i would suggest that this advertising ploy was signed and sealed well before our bid went in.

Yobocop 1,096 Posted January 20, 2013 I hope if he were to sign that he wouldn''t be allowed to have 88 on his shirt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrimmage 0 Posted January 20, 2013 [quote user="refjezdavies"]I hope if he were to sign that he wouldn''t be allowed to have 88 on his shirt[/quote]88 is a reference to the year of Celtic''s formation, 1888. So he wouldn''t have the 88 shirt if he came to Norwich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Lamb 0 Posted January 20, 2013 88 is due to his date of birth I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrimmage 0 Posted January 20, 2013 His date of birth too, he wanted the number 8 but that was already taken. He opted for number 88 as it was a reference to Celtic''s year of formation and coincidentally his date of birth. In doing so he started a bit of a trend - Wanayma took the number 67 shirt in reference to the year of Celtic''s European Cup victory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie Borkins 1 Posted January 20, 2013 Ah, ten-ten. Off-duty. That''s been the story of old Bor''s life for the last twenty years. I did reckon I''d get called out of retirement for one last job to save our fine city from a crazy group of Al Quaeda members who took City Hall, but then I realised I was confusing myself with Clint Eastwood.
