[Football] Over my head - in Oz?

[AlastairWatts]

Listening to the cricket show on Five Live this evening they were talking about Cricket Australia finding a new sponsorship idea – armpit badges for umpires. The idea is, apparently, that every time the umpire raises his (or her) arms to signal a six the advertisement would be displayed. Unsurprisingly, the first sponsor is a deodorant maker.

But might this be an idea for goalkeepers? They, after all, raise their arms above their heads pretty often. Maybe on a sort of ‘pay per view’ basis? There are of course plenty of other players out there who spend quite a large part of the game with their arms above their heads appealing for something. Plenty of managers too…

Adverts for stack heeled boots, or shoe implants on the underside of vertically challenged goalkeepers boots maybe?

Wouldn’t get value for money from our Matty as tends to retract his arms as soon as they are extended

To answer your question... In case of the first one, no. In case of the second one, no.

I suspect advertisers would get more value for money from adverts on the soles of Grealish or Wilf's boots - the amount of time they spend on the floor apparently poleaxed
