Good morning again.
My thanks to the excellent folks at Pretty Green for this.
London, 12 January 2012 – Under Armour (NYSE:UA), a global leader in sports performance apparel, footwear and accessories, announced today a multiyear partnership with England international and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club First-Team defender Michael Dawson.
Under Armour’s Senior Vice President, Global Sports Marketing Matt Mirchin commented on the partnership:
“We’re committed to empowering athletes worldwide and Michael’s leadership, team first attitude and dedication to hard work makes him the ideal partner for the brand. We look forward to seeing Michael on the pitch in our innovative football boots.”
Under Armour continues to build global momentum through the introduction of its innovative products and partnerships with the world’s best athletes and professional teams. Beginning in the 2012/13 season the brand will supply Tottenham Hotspur’s kit, as part of its technical partnership deal announced last year. In addition to Michael Dawson, brand ambassadors in the Barclays Premier League include Fulham FC’s Bobby Zamora and Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Paul Robinson. Dawson will wear Under Armour’s performance enhancing UA Hydrastrike® II FG football boots on the pitch.
Speaking about the partnership, Michael Dawson said:
“I am extremely excited to join the Under Armour family – they are an ambitious brand who are committed to helping athletes constantly improve. Under Armour apparel and footwear is developed with the athlete’s needs in mind and I am looking forward to being part of building that sporting legacy.”
Dawson, who began his career at Nottingham Forrest in 2001, moved to Tottenham Hotspur in 2005 after a successful spell captaining the England Under-21 team. A natural leader, Dawson also captains Tottenham Hotspur on a regular basis, helping the Club qualify for the Champions League for the first time in the Club’s history in 2010.
I cant believe I just read an interview with Gilly the original “born is the king of white hart lane” says he wants to come and visit the lane.

An enjoyable read. I particularly like the part where they suggested he was a role model, and then compared him to today’s morons.
Some people collect Stamps, Coins, Footie Cards etc but 1000 Empty Beer Kegs, not practical but hey it takes all sorts. Give me one full Keg every time.
Getting excited about hosting the Wolfs today and what a bonus if PNB is in the Ranks. COYS.
