Romario getting shirty

Friday, 26 September 2008 14:56

Brazilian legend Romario is considering legal action against football shirt manufacturer Reebok and his former club Vasco da Gama, who without the approval of Romario produced football shirts that celebrates the 1000 goals, which Romario claims to have scored in the course of his career.

According to Romario's lawyer, the former Barcelona star has the rights to produce such a football shirt, and these shirts are not covered by the contract agreements made.

Romario, 42 years, ended his career earlier this year.

How greedy and censoreded up could that bloke be? Suing his former team because they wanted to show honour and respect to him? What a true scumbag.

I agree with John about Romario considering to take legal action against his former team; Vasco are honoring him (and also making some money from it). But I can also see why he would be a little bit annoyed that they\'ve produced this shirt - which includes his signature - without his permission.
