They need then due to the nature of their positions. The elbows that fly about. I don't think its embarrasing.

Not embarrassing, just means he likes his teeth, not sure why it's a problem. Hardly effects his game.

Mouthguards do protect teeth but, more importantly, help prevent concussions.

Er, maybe they don't want their teeth knocked out. Maybe they've seen Joe Jordan without his in and it gave them nightmares.
Tomorrows question..... Why do racing drivers wear helmets...?

Gomes wears one because he had a lot of work done following a mouth injury in his first season. Not sure about Sandro.

If I worked with Joe Jordan, it might inspire me to start wearing a gum-shield too

So fucking what if they're wearing gumshields? Just ask Hossam Ghaly how non contact football is after he had four teeth knocked out that time.

Kaboul lost some teeth in his first season with us too. Talk about cutting your teeth in a new league

On the top row of Sandro's gum shields there's the word 'The' and on the bottom, 'Boss'.

He smiles at everyone he robs of the ball.
