Athletic Bilbao wear red and white because they were formed by a dock worker from Sunderland. Also the reason it's athletic not athletico.
Steel & shipyard lads marra, also known as Los Leones, The Lions. BB will know for sure but I think that's it.
2 Mackems, a couple of Scotsman and a couple from the south coast. The red and white shirts came from Southampton though, not us.
Well I ask you. There's always someone has to spoil things. You have systematically shattered my illusions, lol.
Ha ha. It's not untrue Billy that the club was partially Mackem founded, summat to do with the Spanish geezer that drove the club forward working in Southampton and taking some shirts back for the team. Bizarre that a club founded by overseas folk went on to become a Basque only club, you'd think they'd be diverse by definition. Even the kit they are wearing tonight is the colours of the Basque flag.
Aye but we lent Southampton the shirts in the first place, illusions restored, . Are they still Basque only? I remember Rangers having that proddy only policy, how do they keep that legal? Mind you, one thing that really turns me off is the sight of a fit, curvy woman in a basque, lol.
They are aye, players wise. The managers from Argentina, and they've had a few foreign coaches, but the players still have to carry Basque blood. They've had a couple of French players, but they were French Basques. French, Basques... there's an image for ya Billy
