I remember as a kid, walking around the Goldstone, and occasionally you'd see some car with- say- Steve Penney, sponsored by Dave's Autos of South Street Lancing, or Doug Rougvie Drives A Simpson's Nissan written all over the side. Famously, Sergei Gotsmanov got sponsored by a local Lada dealer (I'm sure there were others).
Clearly no player would be seen dead in a car with their name on the side these days, so when did this stop? When did even lower league footballers get so rich they could afford to turn down a freebie from Dave's Autos? Or does this still go on in the lower leagues? It's a sad loss to the game if not
