PHOTOS: Everton Fan Left Feeling Blue After Glaring Error on Christmas Gift

Published on: 25 December 2016

Christmas Day has come and gone for another year, and football fans across the globe have no doubt enjoyed receiving gifts associated with their beloved club.


That is, unless, you were one particular Everton fan who made a startling discovery upon opening his present on the big day.


Will, a Toffees supporter, was delighted to be given a new Everton shirt with 'Barkley 8' adorning the back of it - until he noticed a very slight, glaring error concerning the number:

Why does my @RBarkley20 shirt have a United badge on the back of it???? @Everton pic.twitter.com/tUDfMMXrk0

Yes, that is, in fact, Manchester United's crest and shirt number design bolted onto the back of the shirt there.


Clearly disgruntled, Will took to Twitter to express his annoyance, and fellow Evertonians - clearly fed up of listening to their own families bicker for the umpteenth time that day - replied en masse to the less-than-impressed Blue:

@EFCWill @RBarkley20 @Everton this is unreal mate you'd probably make lots of articles online, search your @ on google in a few hours

@EFCWill @RBarkley20 @Everton No way 

@EFCWill @Samp_Calcio @RBarkley20 @Everton it's not just the badge they are Utd European font lettering as well I think

We will take these issues to @Everton directly and hope that both Club and @KitbagUK act on this immediately.

Another reason to love the amazing @KitbagUK tie in. https://t.co/1ADvmsmST3

Thankfully, this story has something of a Christmas miracle ending to it; after being inundated with complaints from Will's fellow Evertonians about the issue, Everton's current retail partner Kitbag offered to make it up to Will regarding the obvious error:

A great gesture during the season of goodwill. Merry Christmas, Will!
