Jermaine Pennant’s new club will bring back some great Irish playground memories

Jermaine Pennant has found himself a new football club.

That wouldn't really be news in itself, nice and all that it is for the former Liverpool man to be gainfully employed again. Singapore side Tampines Rovers have decided to take a punt on the former Arsenal winger and reports today suggest that he is about to become the country's highest paid player. He looked only delighted earlier. https://twitter.com/MightyStags/status/689313137351237632 But the real treat was in finding out who one of the sponsors of Pennant's new club is. Readers of a certain vintage may remember these bad boys https://twitter.com/unofficialgaa/status/265792543978029056 And it looks like the famous manufacturers of Mikasa gloves/hand sponges have moved from Under-12 football to helping pay Pennant's wages judging by this snap of their training gear. https://twitter.com/MightyStags/status/687660609731608576 Connor Phillips is the man to thank for alerting us. https://twitter.com/ConnorPhillips/status/689446631691816961 https://twitter.com/RoryC111/status/689455969248489474 And judging by a quick Twitter search, the gloves are still a firm favourite among GAA players. https://twitter.com/danmellett/status/667473910900899840 https://twitter.com/noonan_ross/status/646794265129910274 https://twitter.com/KildareNatSport/status/597834977980579840 Are they the most iconic piece of sporting gear from your childhood? Surely rip-off tracksuit bottoms are the only rival.
