Owling_Wolf Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Anyone know why the (very) unlucky Bannan o.g. has been awarded to the bloke that shot? All I can think of is that it might have been thought to be on target before the massive deflection took it over Beadle and into the far side of the net. Anyone confirm or know how it works, officially? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all you need to know about Adidas ( and Puma tbf) 3 hours ago, HoylandOwl said: They indeed were. Adolf and Rudolph Dassler. The general conception of Johan Cruyff wearing 2 stripes on his Netherlands kit is that he was sponsored by Puma at the time and they threatened to pull his sponsorship if he wore Adidas but it goes deeper than that. Cruyff's wife had Jewish family members who died in Sobibor and Auschwitz and he refused to wear Adidas because of that. The connection ran so deep for him that he entered signed testimony into Yad Vashem on behalf of members of his wife's family. He also gave money to Dutch people and organisations who had sheltered Jews during WW2. On his death Maccabi Tel-Aviv wore black armbands and specially designed shirts with 14 incorporated into the design. Rudolph was never a member of the Nazi Party. In contrast Adolf was a fervent member and the story goes that he used his party connections to conscript Rudolph into the army so that he could take full control of the business and hope Rudolph never came home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheat Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Always though they were both in the Nazi party, and Rudolph’s Wikipedia entry states he was. “With the rise of Adolf Hitler in the 1930s, both Dassler brothers joined the Nazi Party, with Rudolf reputed as being the more ardent Nazi.[5] During the war, a growing rift between the pair reached a breaking point after an Allied bomb attack in 1943 when Adi and his wife climbed into a bomb shelter that Rudolf and his family were already in: "The dirty bastards are back again," Adi said, apparently referring to the Allied war planes, but Rudolf was convinced his brother meant him and his family.[6] Rudolf, upon his capture by American troops, was suspected of being a member of the SS, information Rudolf assumed was allegedly supplied by Adolf.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
