OTB Football · The famous Dunne 5 Jersey, Keane's unused 2002 Kits & Larsson's WC boots | Jonathan Courtenay | OTB Breakfast · 5 Mar 2026 podcast

Your sponsors, your Umbros, your Adidas, wherever, in the contract, you're always going to get X amount of signed jerseys per game or per World Cup or tournament, etc.

So all the licensees were asked, how many jerseys do you want?

What Mexico ones do you want?

What Brazil ones do you want?

Etc.

So everybody wanted a lot of Brazil ones.

At the time, there was, again, this came back from the Umbro liaison guy.

There was a row in the squad between Bebeto and Romario.

And if Romario signed a shirt, Bebeto wouldn't sign it.

And vice versa.

And then Contagion happened.

And if Bebeto's mates saw Romario sign the jersey, they wouldn't sign the jersey.

And again, Romario's mates started doing this.

So there was nonsense going on.

So the Umbro guy at training one day, I think around the quarterfinal time, went up and said, lads, we have commitments all over the world for hundreds of jerseys to be signed.

And you're not doing them.

This is nonsense.

So...

the manager who was Pereira Carlos Alberto Pereira said right I'll sign whatever you have now that's it and he was like well I only have like 15 jerseys this is all I have and a couple were training shirts and blah blah anyway Rye who had a shirt as well and said here get this signed so the manager said this is it one chance everybody sign now and

All of them signed it.
