Alan's sponsorship deal with Hummel didn't go down too well with Billy Bremner.
In reality it didn't turn out to be tto lucratve for Ball either as he subsequently revealed:
"To be honest they were crap, like cardboard, so I got the young apprentices to paint my Adidas football boots white. It was great, till one day it rained and the black came through. A not too happy watching Hummel rep saw what I’d done so I said goodbye to the two grand.”
