Joe Lewis forced to wear autographed shirt!

Tue Apr 14, 2015 12:26 pm

The 27 year-old had no other choice after it emerged that the club, who are currently without a kitman, were short of goalkeeper jerseys.
The incident, revealed by Lewis’ teammate Andrea Orlandi in a blog post, represents another embarrassing moment in the beleaguered club’s season.
Before the game, Lewis accidentally put on a shirt which he had signed for a presentation later that night.
When he noticed his error and attempted to change the top, he was told there were no others available.
“It was funny because he tried to put a plaster over the writing to cover it,” Orlandi said.
“Things like that however, details without apparent importance, make a difference in a club. A small thing? Probably, but still not a normal thing for a Championship club.”
Since the departure of Blackpool’s long-term kitman Steve Wales last summer, other staff members have had to take on the role, including the former youth team physio and the club secretary.
Another shirt was eventually found for Lewis to change into for the second half.

They will have the Waterboy playing next! :lol:

And we think we have had a fall from grace! :shock:

I just hope we don't lose against them. They cant even use Lewis so his stand in will have to wear the autographed shirt. :lol:

His stand in is Elliot Parrish who isn't a bad keeper.

Knowing us and Slade we will lose 1-3 after taking the lead.

Blackpool will still manage to do the double over us. What a tin pot club.
