BOOKMAKER William Hill has unveiled a range of handsome handmade knitted kits to keep North-East football fans warm this winer.

Sunderland and Newcastle kits have been lovingly re-imagined in the relevant-coloured snug materials, while the bookmaker has also included a Manchester United shirt in its woollen range

The strips, modelled in this photograph by Ian Mann, Colin Vidler and Anderson Nascimento, were created after research showed that supported of these three clubs were considered at highest risk from catching hypothermia at matches, as they were the least likely to wrap up warm for winter fixtures.
