It would be interesting to find out where and why the captains armband originated from. Probably something First World War or something.
If I remember correctly it was Big Sam who said he didn’t want Cattermole to have it cause he would still be a leader. That way he had 2 captains.Only to the twisty cry babies who think a piece of fabric round an arm changes a player
Listened to an interview on RR over the weekend (think it was some lad from Sky who is a MLF) and he was saying that Cattermole should have been given the armband last year as he's a natural leader etc etc
The thing is, the armband made no difference to Cattermole as a player or a person. He was exactly the same on and off the pitch whether he was the "official captain" or not.
If you are a leader, you lead people regardless of whether you have an armband IMHO
I used to give it to the player I couldn't be arsed to have around the team talk, so he went off to the coin toss while actually sorted out the team.Agree with this 100%. I have run Sunday league sides for nearly 15 years on and off and I never used to have a captain, I couldn't see the point? It basically gave one player the impression that they were now safe from being dropped. All they do is go up for the coin toss anyway in Sunday League
It's just an ego massage so he can impress his mates who probably could not give a shiny shiteI used to give it to the player I couldn't be arsed to have around the team talk, so he went off to the coin toss while actually sorted out the team.
He used to just come out with every cliche going and it did my nut in.
