well as a footy fan I was always happy with loads of random tops when I was younger when people went on holiday, I still get various ones, I have england, australia, newcastle, barcelona and a few french ones.

Yes he has a lot of other national ones as well and has some signed ones from ebay but dont ask what they are! He has always had a great interest in football from an early age.

I did wonder about that but I am afraid I am not very knowledgable about football. He has followed both celtic and man u since he was very young.

If it has gone you maybe try the Al Ain Sports Stadium near the Hilton where I live. Let me know if you cant find it and I will ask around for you.

After buying a dr pepper t shirt instead i found an al ain strip in the gift market beside Lulu supermarket. I know probably not genuine but looked ok for him. Thanks to all who tried to help. Going home Thursday and back in a week . You want some butteries and deans shortbread TKFKASE?:thumbsup:

Defo on the rowies, I like mine on the soft side, no tae weelfired, if ye kenfitamine.... Oh, and Ross the Bakers fae Inverurie, if ye hiv the choice, cannae min' if he his a placie in Turra or mebbe's closest will be Meldrum...

On this subject, the reason I ask for Ross' rowies is coz he's ma uncle. He is looking into the idea of putting together 'care packages' for expats and we are gonna be the guines pigs.. Anyone fae north of Hadrians with any ideas of what could be added that we just cannae get ower here, drop me a line...

Ill be heading back to Gods country in about a month or so, and had planned on stocking up then. Unfortunately, Ill be heading straight to Hassi Messauod for 2 weeks after my visit home, so had decided not to stock up...
