WHY are professional football players in the Premier League wearing snoods around their necks?

I know that the weather has been very cold recently, but if you put the effort in on the pitch then you soon get warmed up.

Years ago, these snoods would have been laughed at and probably even banned by the Football Association and the fans on the terraces would have given the players some stick.

I could just imagine turning up to play squash with my good friend, Bobby Tapatzo, wearing one. I can tell you now that our match would be abandoned before I could say “your serve, dude”.

Come on, lads. Get rid of the snoods. You are playing football and not walking down a New York fashion walk.

Whatever next?
