I would too, if they where sellable quality, because they where in an art department, people cut bits off and stuck them to their art work...until I noticed them so their in bits.....
I always remember this story in Charlie Buchan's football monthly...
(stolen from Wiki)
Johnny Summers born 1928, (died 1962) was a soccer striker who scored 104 goals for Charlton Athletic F.C.
Johnny engineered one of the most remarkable comebacks in football history; Charlton were 5-1 down against Huddersfield with half an hour to go with only 10 men; they won 7-6 in the Second Division at The Valley, 21 December 1957. Johnny scored five goals set up two and scored a six minute hat-trick. Summers later revealed that he changed his boots at half-time after his old pair had started falling apart.
Johnny Summers played for Norwich City, Fulham and Millwall, prior to his Charlton career. He made his debut for Millwall in 1955 in the opening match of the 1955-56 season, against Brighton and Hove albion, in front of a 25,000 plus crowd at The Den. In a 2-0 win, he disappointed the fickle crowd and after a few weeks disappeared into the Reserves, surfacing again the following January, as a left winger. From that time, he never looked back, and was one of the most fearsome and lethal forwards seen at The Den in years. His transfer to Charlton Athletic, for their last season in the old First Division, was regretted by Millwall fans, but seen as inevitable.
He died at the age of just 34 in 1962 of cancer
Although I thought it was the fact he was wearing new boots for the first half but came out in the 2nd half with his old boot held together with sticking plaster.
