My sister-in-Law drew my name in the Christmas draw last year and as we are just over our X-Mas party I managed to survey just what the heck she got me. Well, its turns out its a God-awful hat, a soccer hat at that! It is white and in the shape of a soccer ball with nets on three sides and the word GOAL written across the front. She expects me to wear this when I got to soccer games here but she is in for a shock as I am issuing a challenge to YBIG members. I want this hat to see the world and so I will post it, free of charge, to anyone who will have the balls to wear it during a match, any match. The only condition is that you must be photographed at the stadium wearing the hat and it be posted on the YBIG site then pass it on to someone else. You can even decorate it with something from the game if you like. So are there any takers? I plan to print out any photos for next year and present then to my sister-in-law next Christmas.

thats a great call Donal! The hat will go everywhere in the world now. Might bring it on my honeymoon!

To get the ball rolling how about you take a photo of yourself at a game and then post it up here and next person will take on the mission? Could dedicate a slot to it each issue to see where its been. Quality stuff Donal

Smashing idea! This hat will be famous

ah yeah i forgot about that game.

great stuff Donal. Maybe standing beside a grizzley and your town signpost so we can get the name in would be a great effect?

....and so it begins

Im going to see Man Utd -v- Liverpool in Old Trafford in March..ill wear the hat!

Yeah we'll get a pic of Ronaldinho and the rest of the Barca boys wearing it .
We'll bring it to the Nou Camp and someone can take it off us in Monty for that match if they like??

Okay, boys, its in the post tommorrow. My wife is working today but I told her what I wanted and she is taking a photo of me in the local soccer park wearing the hat and then it is on its way. I might even get a few photos of my sister-in-law with the offending thing at Christmas and one or two others. The thought of this hat adorning the head of Hunty, Ronaldinho and the rest is just brilliant.
