HAVING read how Manchester United’s Marouane Fellaini said his boots had an impact on his performance (Echo, Dec 4), I’m sad to say this contradicts what I have been drumming into my grandson for the last few years.

I have repeatedly told him it does not matter how much the boots cost, it’s what’s inside of them that counts. Having seen Fellaini play, I rest my case.
