Sir Alex Ferguson has banned his players from wearing snoods during matches. The new football fashion during the winter time has spread like butter on toast. A snood (seen in the pictures) is a warm scarf like piece of clothing worn round your neck to prevent the cold. It has caused many different opinions throughout football, personally I like the snood it looks good and is warm, but others say its a very 'wussy' thing to wear for the sport. Under armour vests, shorts and even gloves are provided to keep you warm on the pitch, now a scarf. Wuss was the first thing my father said when I wore my snood as I unwrapped it this christmas but then again he was one who played in the seventies and eighties in shorts and short sleeved shirts, anyway Alex Ferguson of Manchester United is not allowing his players to wear a snood during matches and it seems to be working as I haven't yet seen a United player with the snood. My first sight of a snood was a year or so back when Gianluigi Buffon wore his playing at Hampden park against Scotland. Since then more and more are being spotted. Man City and Tottenham Hotspur seem to have the most players with the 'fashion' on. Ballotelli, Tevez, Yaya Toure, Bale and Nasri are just some pictured wearing it. The football season has come to a slight halt during the winter freeze, many games have been postponed so as we catch up with many cancelled games in winter (January and February) I am certain we'll be seeing more snoods on the football field.
