Scotland supports Trinidad & Tobago
Posted by DavidM in Scotland, Trinidad & Tobago, World Cup | 18 May 2006
Despite the national team faling to reach the World Cup finals this summer, The Scotsman reports that there is high demand for one particular player's shirt amongst Stottish fans.
Jason Scotland is the 27-year old striker for Trinidad and Tobago and gives the Scots a namesake to cheer on during the tournament. There's the added attraction that he'll also be playing against England in the group stages.
The Scotsman reports that Adidas are sending more supplies of his shirt to stores throughout Scotland where retailers are already getting requests.
Jason has also been signed up by Irn Bru for a billboard campaign over summer and he'll be doing a "Scotland at the World cup" video diary at www.itsphenomenal.co.uk. I'd heard he was being paid an un-Beckhamesque £250 by Irn-Bru but haven't been able to confirm it.
