  • Programme Greater London Football League
    Main Sponsor Umbro is a British sportswear and football equipment supplier based in Cheadle, Greater Manchester. The company is currently a subsidiary of Iconix Brand Group. Umbro designs, sources, and markets football-related apparel, footwear, and equipment. Its products are sold in over 90 countries worldwide. The company was founded by Harold Humphreys, along with his brother Wallace in a small workshop in Wilmslow, Cheshire, inspired by the growing interest in football witnessed nationwide. The name "Umbro" is a quasi-portmanteau inspired from Humphreys Brothers Clothing. Umbro's kit debut was in the 1934 FA Cup final, when both teams Manchester City and Portsmouth wore uniforms designed and manufactured by the company. Other teams supplied by Umbro during the 1930s and 1940s were Sheffield United, Preston North End, Manchester United and Blackpool. Umbro was the official sports manufacturer of the English FA Cup and official sponsor of The FA, being the exclusive supplier of balls to the body's leagues. In 1952, the British team at the Summer Olympics wore Umbro kits, tailored for the needs of their individual sports. Umbro would supply kits for the British Olympics team for the next 20 years. In 1957 Umbro entered the tennis market, producing sports clothing in collaboration with player Ted Tinling. This collaboration extended for three decades. Another sportsman who collaborated with Umbro was Manchester United manager Matt Busby, in 1959. That same year the company started to sell its junior boys' kits, a set of shirt, shorts and socks that would allow young players to wear the same look as their footballing idols.

On Saturday, Steven Gerrard was on the receiving end when a chant of "What the f****** hell was that?" erupted after he skied a free kick, sending the ball into the heart of the stand. If that was good-natured, the next bout of mocking was not. The laughter that greeted Gerrard being asked whether Liverpool would flourish in his absence should send shockwaves through a club whose fans are rapidly losing faith. A second 3-1 defeat by Crystal Palace of a campaign that has screamed mediocrity almost from start to finish ensured the Liverpool supporters were in no mood to match Gerrard's diplomatic response to that question. Not since "Hodgson for England" was sung in irony has an Anfield crowd treated its own with such disdain. Had the club's principal owners, John W. Henry and Tom Werner, been present they might have got the message that all is not well but they had not seen Gerrard's final game at Anfield as a good enough reason to attend, choosing to stay in the United States. The pair continue to watch the team they own on television but it is only by being at the stadium that they would be able to understand the full extent of the disconnect between supporters and team.
